Naomie Harris thinks Eve Moneypenny represents "the modern woman".
The British actress, who starred alongside Daniel Craig in the 2012 hit 'Skyfall' and is to reprise her role in the Sam Mendes-directed film 'SPECTRE', has offered an insight into her approach to the character.
The 38-year-old beauty explained: "The producers and Sam [Mendes] said they wanted to make a real distinction between this Bond Girl... woman, and the ones of the past.
"One of the things Sam said was, 'I want you to represent the modern woman. I want women to be able to feel that they respect you, admire you and that you're just as capable as Bond.'"
Looking forward to the new Bond film, Sam has said he wants to develop some of the characters he helped create in 'Skyfall'.
Sam, 49, explained: "I felt an attachment to the characters that we created in 'Skyfall'. I felt like there was unfinished business, and that there was a lot more I could do with them once I'd kind of stepped aside and had some time off."
Starring alongside Naomie in 'SPECTRE' will be 50-year-old actress Monica Bellucci, who will become the oldest ever Bond girl when she appears as Lucia Sciarra.

Simon Cowell is planning to move back to America.
The music mogul is said to be "open" to returning to Los Angeles with "homesick" girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their nine-month-old son Eric and plans to re-launch 'The X Factor' in the US.
A source said: "Lauren regularly flies to and from the US and UK and she's admitted to Simon she's still homesick for America and wants to move back.
"She says she's struggled to make new friends and misses her old life. She wants them to go back to LA once 'X Factor' is finished.
"Simon is open to the idea. He's frustrated at how 'X Factor' has fared in the UK ratings this year and is contemplating trying to re-launch the show in the US again."
Insiders claim Simon, 55, plans to rework the talent show in a bid to revive it Stateside and boost his own profile.
The source added to Closer magazine: "Simon's keen for a new concept for the American version. It will be much more about bands and older acts rather than younger novelty singers.
"Lauren is behind him and would love to be based in the US with him.
"He's already in informal talks to make a pilot of the show in the States and get the whole idea up and running.
"He wants to blow America away and get back his crown as the King of Entertainment.
"Lauren thinks Eric can still have the best of both worlds if they have a main base in LA and pop back to London when they need to."

Boyzone turned to alcohol after Stephen Gately died.
The 'Love Me For a Reason' hitmakers were left distraught when their bandmate died suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition five years ago aged 33, and they subsequently underwent their "worst" ever tour.
Mikey Graham said: "When he died we were contractually obliged to go on tour. We were grieving hugely and unfortunately the therapy we turned to on that tour was alcohol which was totally the wrong thing to do."
Ronan added: "It's the worst tour we've ever done. Alcohol stayed with us for quite some time even after the tour. It became a habit."
Thankfully the quartet eventually found healthier ways to cope and adjust to their loss.
Keith Duffy said: "We were using alcohol to numb the pain. I was drinking way too much, upsetting the people I love most and having awful nightmares so I went for bereavement counselling.
"I talked about my grief and the whole drinking problem and I gave up drinking for the whole of 2011. Saying your problems out loud helps you resolve your issues."
Mikey said: "I read a lot of self-help books but I don't think it cured me."
Shane Lynch added to OK! magazine: "I fixed myself. My mind is very strong but everyone is different."
Ronan admitted: "I've had counselling over the years and it's been wonderful."

Olly Murs has been tipped to land his own Las Vegas residency.
Respected songwriter Claude Kelly has worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson and Britney Spears but of all the artists he has written for, he says the 'Troublemaker' hitmaker - who shot to fame after coming second on 'The X Factor' in 2009 - is his favourite and a "world class entertainer".
He said: "I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but Olly is probably one of my favourite artists to work with.
"It is because he is the same person I met right after he got off X Factor.
"He is going to be around and be a world class entertainer, he is still very young and has a long way to go.
"I see Olly doing Vegas at some point, he's a great guy."
Claude is very disillusioned with the current pop scene and thinks music has got "lazy" and less innovative.
He told BBC Radio 1's 'Newsbeat': "To me, it's got in a place that is a little bit lazy.
"I'm finding, as a person who does this, I am a little bit offended by some of the things I hear.
"It feels like those who are in charge of it are not taking good care of it, not taking good care of developing new artists.
"I think pop music has always been the genre that was culture-bending and futuristic in its approach.
"Somewhere along the line we've become a little bit reactive and reductive in following the media, whereas pop is supposed to push the media and it's supposed to catch up with us."

Khloé Kardashian is keen to pose for Playboy.

An insider revealed to the US edition of OK! Magazine: "Khloé is dying to prove she's just as hot as her sisters. She thinks her curves are a perfect fit for a men's mag and being in Playboy has always been a dream of hers.

She said previously: "I love to box. Boxing is really fun, and it's such a stress reliever. I'm just so busy having fun, I forget that I'm working out; 45 minutes go by and I'm dripping wet.
"We do a lot of workouts together, my sisters and I, and we go on a lot of hikes and walks outside. I never like doing the same workout two days in a row, I just get bored. I'll try anything except surfing. I won't go in the water. I'm terrified of whales and sharks. I'll go in a pool, though.
"I've definitely become obsessed with working out! It's funny, because my weight has always fluctuated - but recently so many people have been saying: 'You look so good, you've lost all this weight'. It's actually been about a year and a half that I've been making a lifestyle change. There's no quick fix, I would say."

She told him: "You know, I had plans throughout the show to surprise you with divorce papers. Like stuff like that was in the works.
"I don't know what to do, where to go, who to talk to, who to trust."
The 32-year-old former NFL player also revealed that he struggled with other people getting involved in the couple's personal problems.
He said: "Why is it the first thing people want to come out and say without even knowing a lick of anything about the situation. But you want to go after someone when their vulnerable and just put things in their head that the person's not even thinking?

She said: "I felt very, very used and manipulated."
Kristin also spoke up about how difficult the show made life for her.
She explained: "I was a junior in high school and MTV showed up and did open casting. You grab this 20-page packet and then they would take your Polaroid, and from there, they did on-camera interviews. They sort of narrowed it down to these eight people.
"We had no idea what we were doing. We were just going along with whatever MTV was telling us to do."
Meanwhile, Kristin has revealed that she felt the show changed her as a person.
Speaking on 'Oprah: Where Are They Now?', she said: "Being 16, 17 in high school, not knowing really how to handle your emotions or even realising what's going on, I put up a wall. I put up a really tough exterior because I felt like they were really trying to take advantage of me.
"When I saw it air and saw the way that they represented me, I was really, really upset. I cried for hours and hours after I saw the first episode."
Kristin has offered advice to any young people considering taking part in a reality show.
She shared: "I still to this day think that you should be 18 to do a reality show! Only because of my experience."

The 63-year-old actress also admitted that she found the show tough but really enjoyed her time on the programme.
She said: "It was really much harder than I thought it would be but really, in a weird, sadistic, masochistic way, it was fun...; setting yourself challenges and overcoming them and living in the rainforest.
"You wake up every morning and you think, 'Oh my God, I'm out living a life that I never would at home.'"
Vicki - who is the sixth celebrity to leave the show, following Gemma Collins and Craig Charles' early exits, as well as the eliminations of Jimmy Bullard, Nadia Forde and Michael Buerk - lasted just under three weeks on 'I'm A Celebrity'.
