Getting To Travel Around The

I Was Out On The Shooting Range Twice A Week [for Skyfall]. I Worked Out With A Personal Trainer For Two Hours A Day, Five Days A Week. So, It Was Quite Demanding!

I Wanted To Play Roles Which Offered New Ways Of Viewing Black Women And Black People In General- And I Have Done That. And I Have Always, Whether I Needed To Pay The Rent Or Not, I've Always Turned Down Roles Which I Thought Were Stereotypical. And So When I Look At My Body Of Work In That Respect, I Am Really Happy. Because I Feel My Work Does Say Something Positive And That Was What I Always Set Out To Do.

It Was Also Great Shooting In London At Pinewood Studios Because Of All Its History. So Many Of The 007 Movies Were Filmed There, As Well As Classics By Everyone From Marilyn Monroe To Jack Nicholson To Martin Scorcese. It's Like Working On Hallowed Ground. So, I Felt A Responsibility To Make Sure I Did As Good A Job As I Possibly Could.

I Have Many Different Sides; I Can Be The Life And Soul Of The Party - Or A Wallflower.

Getting To Travel Around The World And Go To Glamorous Locations Is Certainly Not What I Had As A Kid.
