I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

In a Tim Burton movie, you know it's going to be something unusual, or a bit mad. Something "other."

For Tim Burton's birthday I gave him a rainbow beetle. He loved it!

Traditional British desserts with lots of custard are my biggest weakness - I particularly love the puds at St. John restaurant in East London.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

I was cast last minute for Casino Royale. They asked me to fly to Prague. I liked the script very much. I flew to Prague and did a bit of an audition. I was really focused and stressed out. And Daniel Craig was there. He was very, very blonde, like a Steve McQueen. He's moving a lot in real life. He's quite nervous. He was very lovely, very patient, and really connecting with me when we did the screen test.

If I can avoid doing stunts, I will. I don't want to die just for a movie. It's not worth it.
