Now, I live in my husband's village. I'm near my mother, but not too near! It's a new house, and it's got lots of space, a beautiful kitchen, and a large balcony. We've got heating (which my mother's house hasn't) and a large, comfortable bathroom inside! Unfortunately, we haven't got a very good view.

Brosnan's nice, and I really like Sophie Marccau — she's a brilliant baddie.

Best bit'? The scene when Brosnan and Marceau are skiing in the mountains.

It's quite shocking when Bond kills a woman -- he's usually such a gentleman!

Best bit'? The chase with the speed boats in the Thames. Bond's boat is really cool.
