At drama school, I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.

That is really the freedom that allows you to create something that is exciting because who knows what's true?

There's this shop in New York I go to; it has bones and fossils and insects that are like works of art. I have a few on my wall.

I don't like flirting, and when I love someone, I always give everything, maybe too much. And then you have to work at it all the time. I mean, the first months are always great, but afterwards it becomes hard work. It's not as passionate and crazy.

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

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