When you're up for an Oscar, you just get offered everything. It's fantastic, but a lot of it you're completely inappropriate for.

It would be nice to really shed the corsets.

You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch.

I think my mouth just opens and I spontaneously say things that occur to me.

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 think I've still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I'm not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations!

Fairytales have always got to have that scary quality, as long as you make them laugh.
