 Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room. |
| It would be nice to really shed the corsets. |
| It took me so many years to move out. I'm definitely a bit of a Peter Pan, reluctant to grow up. It all seemed really nice at home-why change it? Part of me would prefer not to have any responsibility whatsoever. |
| It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights. |
| No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic, and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me. |
| All the ancient classic fairy tales have always been scary and dark. |
| The problems come when your personal life and relationships come under scrutiny in the press and often very uncomplimentary things are printed about you. |
| That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses. |
| I was sad that Corpse Bride was so short. I would've liked to have had her around for way longer. She doesn't actually have that many scenes. |
| What I loved about playing the corpse is that obviously somebody else got to do the physical part. It appeals to the part of me that likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality. |
| Multitasking? I can't even do two things at once. I can't even do one thing at once. |
| I don't think kids have a problem with death. It's us older ones who are nearer to it, that start being frightened. |
| Tim also has enough confidence so that it always looks like a Tim Burton film, but it really is collaborative. You're allowed to do it your way but of course he's always going to choose his way. |
| I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me. |
| Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know? |
| With the number of people I ignore, I'm lucky I work at all in this town. |
| You learn to rely on a few basic movements and use your voice to the greatest extent possible to convey your emotions. So there was a technical challenge there and a responsibility to create a character from behind the mask. |
| I was like one of those nauseatingly nice children. I was very, very well behaved and boring. |
| You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch. |
| Not only was it nearly impossible to hear because of these huge rubber ears we had to wear, but we also had these huge furry hands which were absolutely useless, especially if you had to scratch yourself. |
