[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.

Born in London, England and raised in European cities such as Paris and Geneva, Maryam d'Abo has rewarded audiences with her beauty and presence for over twenty years. Maryam first appeared in Xtro (1982), a gory horror film that is considered a cult entry in the genre. She appeared consistently throughout the mid-1980s in a variety of films, including two mini-series based on novels of author Sidney Sheldon : Master of the Game (1984) and If Tomorrow Comes (1986). She accepted "Laughter in the Dark" based on the Vladimir Nabokov novel. Her co-stars were Maximilian Schell and Mick Jagger . She thought it would be her big break, since it was a very challenging role, and she was in every scene. But financing fell through, and the film was never completed. The stress made her lose weight, and she appeared more mature. Which turned out to be just the right look for a classical cellist in her next film. Thus, her real big break came in the form of the James Bond film, The Living Daylights (1987). Maryam played Bond girl "Kara Milovy", opposite Timothy Dalton 's "James Bond". The film gave her career a real jolt, and she found herself in leading roles throughout the early 1990s, in a variety of films. She based herself in both England and the USA, appearing in Shootfighter: Fight to the Death (1993) and the European horror movie Immortal Sins (1991). She played her hand in the erotic thriller genre, appearing in Tomcat: Dangerous Desires (1993), Tropical Heat (1993) and an episode of Red Shoe Diaries (1992), featured on the video [error]. She starred in more films throughout the mid-1990s, opposite the late Margaux Hemingway in Double Obsession (1992), a remake: The Browning Version (1994), a romantic comedy called Solitaire for 2 (1994), and thrillers such as Timelock (1996) and An American Affair (1997). In 2002, Maryam drew on her experiences as a Bond Girl to write, produce and host Bond Girls Are Forever (2002), examining the culture and connotations of being a Bond girl, and the subsequent effects on a film career. This interesting documentary shed new light on the topic of James Bond films, and appeared on British and American television, whilst gaining a DVD release. Maryam strayed away from commercial features, opting to appear in a variety of television dramas, including: a TV mini series of Doctor Zhivago (2002) and Helen of Troy (2003). More recently, she appeared in San Antonio (2004), Evil Remains (2004), a movie filmed in France Ад (2005) and a direct-to-video sequel, The Prince & Me II: The Royal Wedding (2006). Maryam has displayed talent in a variety of genres, she continues to make guest appearances for her fans, and is likely to appear in more films. She also works on films with her husband director Hugh Hudson , whom she married in 2003. This striking blonde actress, a former Bond girl, holds her own up with the best of them.
