Do we need to have a female Bond? Couldn't we just make something new?

Someone asked if I wanted to be the first female Bond, and I was saying that I don't think we necessarily need that whole conversation.

Why shouldn't there be more epic, brilliant female characters onscreen?

I am learning on every job I do. There is something new every time.

I was introduced to the church through my parents but I had to struggle and find it on my own. In the end I learned much of my faith and found much of my strength through watching my father's and mother's journeys.

I'm most interested in public service. I think that's something that I got from being part of my family, which is such an honor.

I live on my own, happily, and I've never wanted children, but it did occur to me one day that there's part of me in 'Torak' - he's a loner, I'm a loner - as there's part of me in 'Renn,' who's quite waspish. I think, in some senses, 'Torak' is the son I never had.

My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. When I wasn't pitching hay, hauling corn or running a tractor, I was heaving a baseball into his mitt behind the barn... If all the parents in the country followed his rule, juvenile delinquency would be cut in half in a year's time.
