I'm Really Into Strong, Female Roles -

What I Really Learned From Tim Burton Is That It's Important To Have Your Own Person In A Role Because You Can't Play A Character Unless There Are Elements Of Human Behaviour That You Yourself Understand. I Was Really Struck By How Tim Burton Would Like To Sit And Chat About You... Or Question Things Which Then You Had Never Thought About. It Is A Good Thing To Always Step Back A Bit With Things Like That. But I Try My Damned Hardest To Learn Something From Everything I Do.

On The Surface, It's Really Easy To Dismiss Certain Characters, But Sometimes You Find That The Most Interesting Parts Are Disappointingly Shallow. It's Your Job As An Actress To Pull That Person Apart, And Work Out Why They Act The Way That They Do.

And It's As You Get Older That You Realize That The Things That Make You Strange Are The Things That Make You Who You Are. And That's A Lovely Place To Get To.

I'm Hungry For A Cold And Mean Character - I'd Love It If Someone Thought I Could Play Gritty. I Want To Play A Baddie, Someone Really Scary.

You Never Think You're As Old As You're Ever Going To Get.
