“We all enjoy Bond. Daniel Craig was killed in “No Time to Die.” “But of course, money was involved, and that's why Amazon took over it. But it's never going to be the same again.”
“I think it's really sad that Amazon is doing this,” she later said, but she embraced “life changes, what will happen.”

“Well, that's not a problem that worries me, because life is changing, everything moves and changes,” she said. “I just – the Bond franchise is very British and there's no more. And obviously, if they make a movie, they won't go into the cinema, they'll probably be – I don't know… everything is different now, and it's just not the same, I'm very old-fashioned anyway.”
