When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues.

I think a little tidbit I can give you is that I grew up with basically everything handed to me, except for my career. I worked for that.

No one's just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.

I'm a person who likes habit and knowing what my job is.

I was an only child. I needed an alternative to family life - to real life, you could almost say - and cartoons, pictures in a book, the animated movies, seemed to provide it.

I hope I will not be typecast as a Bond girl for the rest of my life. I'm very proud of being a part of the Bond family, but I don't want to be the sexy girl forever. I'm not meaning to complain, but I just want to be taken seriously.

The first Superman film took up a huge chunk of our lives, but it was a wonderful time for us. We were young, my daughter was little, we were filming in London for a year, so we became like a close family.

It is only when parental feelings are ineffective or too ambivalent or when the mother's emotions are temporarily engaged elsewhere that children feel lost.
