• Arterton, who played Strawberry Fields in 'Quantum of Solace', says the character of James Bond is intrinsically male and changing that core identity would be a mistake.
• However, the actress believes the franchise should focus on creating more strong, complex female characters to complement Bond, rather than simply gender-swapping the lead role.
