There's a reason hobble skirts are called hobble skirts. You literally can't move very far in them.

I remember stealing some pic n' mix when I was seven; when I got out of the shop, I burst into tears.

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.

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.

You never think you're as old as you're ever going to get.

I absolutely adore Alessandra Rich, I think her dresses are stunning and she really knows how to cut and dress the female shape. Her stuff is really beautiful, stylish and a little bit quirky. I love it all!

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.
