Personal Quotes (2) A perfect dinner for me is being with people I really want to be with. It starts and stops with my company and my family. I was at a party in London when I met Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. She introduced herself, and I didn't believe her name. So I just replied: "Yeah, and I'm Cathy Carrot." I think maybe I got off on the wrong foot!
