- [In 1995, on the aftermath of starring in the James Bond film The Living Daylights (1987)] It gave me a dream start but it turned into a nightmare I couldn't shake off. I left England for Hollywood and wasn't ready for it at all. I thought I could cope, but I just couldn't do it.
- [In 2012, on her acting career] I'm an old one now. It's as simple as that, there are very few roles, so I probably have a couple of auditions a year, if that. I've come to terms with it, but yes, I do miss it. Of course I'd like to see more roles for older women, but the biggest target audience are the 18-year-olds who don't want to see 50 or 60 year-olds on screen. How many older stars do you have? Meryl Streep, Meryl Streep and Meryl Streep.
- [on her Double Obsession (1992) costar and friend's death in 1996 at age 41] Los Angeles is not a nurturing place. You have to be a survivor to be here, and it gets harder after 30. Margaux Hemingway was warm and trusting; I don't think she was cut out for this town.
- [In 1987, she told the "New York Times" as she was promoting her leading role in the James Bond film The Living Daylights (1987)] I realize that many of the Bond girls have never done anything after their one appearance opposite 007. But I don't have any fears of that happening. And if it does, it's my own fault.
- [In 2016, when asked if being a James Bond girl was a curse] No, I can only blame myself....It's only a curse from the outside perspective, because "I haven't done anything since Bond" - well, it's not true, I've worked non-stop. But I've never done anything with the same impact as Bond.
