I started as a model in Mexico - I was traveling, but my base was in Mexico City. And then I studied acting for three years.

My grandma loves beauty pageants, like most of Latin American culture, but it's not for me.

You cannot expect to make an action movie without getting bruises.

I think in general, and in the film industry, that idea of having only one type of girl is changing. There's more variety because it's the world we live, and we want to portray that.

I would say that the energy on set is always the energy of the director because he's the boss.

The thing with fashion is that when I see something that I like, I just go with it. I don't really go towards one designer or the other. It's just what I like. It could be expensive, it could be cheap. If it fits me, and it's my style, I'll wear it.

You know who I think is very sexy? Nora Jones.

I liked the whole process of creating on set. It's almost like creating magic. The work that the camera guys are doing at the same time, the lighting... all of the people working in their departments to make one thing.

Every project is a new challenge for an actor. If it's not, it's boring.

I enjoy talking to people about what I do - about films, music, directors, and art. It's very strange, having to talk about yourself.

Every Bond girl has a certain charm, and sometimes - almost every time - that charm is more important than beauty. In the films and in life.

I'm really into Spider-Man, in particular. Since I was a little kid.

It feels like a dream come true, being a Bond girl. I feel like a princess. It's hard to believe it when I say, 'I'm a Bond girl.'

That's the best way to work on a project: talk to the director. In the end, it's the director's idea of how they perceive the movie and how they perceive the characters.

I would love to work with Morgan Freeman. I love him.

I would love to do a romantic comedy - a good one.

As an artist, you have to do what you feel passionate about. It has to be something you can connect with.

I like running, and I like boxing.

I wash my face with soap and water. I use whatever I have. I will even wash my hair with the hotel shampoo, so I don't use anything special. I try to keep it simple.

Travelling is hard, but travelling and still having style is even harder.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a rock star. I wanted to be Steven Tyler. It was really strange, but as a little girl you think anything is possible, and it is. I never even thought about being an actress.

I'm pretty spoilt when it comes to having a glam team.

I don't use a lot of products. I don't even like to wear make-up when I'm not working.

I knew I was going to be in 'Spectre,' but I didn't realize I was a 'Bond girl' until they announced it.

I box two to three times a week. I don't like going to the gym because it's boring. I really like boxing because you have to combine concentration and imagination. I feel like I'm actually learning something that's useful.

Sometimes being scared of something can be good because it can give you strength. A great example for me would be acting in English! Basically, whenever I'm scared of a project, I know it's worth it.

Birthdays are just weird! I like to have something simple like a dinner with friends and family if possible.

Who isn't difficult? I'm difficult as an artist.

I try not to think about the expectations of other people because there's always going to be expectations.

Films are a very personal experience - just like a martini - so I try to think about what I like, what projects I like to be in, and make sure I feel proud about it because, at the end, I'm the only one that's going to look back and feel proud or not about what I was doing.

We can use films and art to express what is happening around all of us.
