ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was it about Lorraine andAtomic Blondethat appealed to you?

That’s where you get the empathy.
To me, it felt more authentic than going to this place where we are oversaturated with explanation.
Like, “Hey, this is a woman!
So let’s remind you that they are mothers and nurturers.”
We’re so much more than that.
Lorraine just is, and I love that about her.
That makes sense to me.
James Bond didn’t “date” most of the women he bedded.
A lot of them have sexual encounters to survive.
They’re not making love, it’s sex.
[Laughs] We shot it that way, and I take full ownership as a producer.
There’s a real power in a woman taking ownership.
It’s weird how we get weirded out by women doing that.
How intensely did you have to train to be able to do some of these action scenes?
You were a dancer at the start of your career.
How much does that help when you’re learning the choreography of a fight?
I think the muscle memory is always there.
You do learn things easier and faster than if you didn’t have that training.
Early in your career, did you ever feel that your beauty was holding you back from certain roles?
Lorraine is gorgeous, and she thrives on it.
I’m maturing into a woman that has a much wider backbone now.
I can’t ever be jaded about that.
Did you ever think you’d be 41 years old and an action star?
I worked really fing hard.
You have two kids under 6.
Do they know that their mom can do these things?
They think I’m great for a whole bunch of other reasons.
That’s the best part about motherhood.
It has nothing to do with all this other stuff.
They don’t care that I have an Oscar.
They think I’m awesome because I can make pancakes or really awesome French toast on a Sunday morning.
