I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.

I don't hang out with agents and producers and I'm not into the business side at all.

In the '80s, I loved the movies of the '70s. Also I remember loving Klute [1971]. I loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I auditioned for the last movie she made before she retired for a while, Stanley and Iris [1990], which Martha Plimpton got.

I would love to someday do a play. I did one when I was very young in San Francisco, where I grew up. A girl can dream.

As a character, it's very interesting to play someone who wants to change their life and have him change it.

Scapegoating will go on forever. We need someone to blame - illegal immigrants, single moms, people in prison. We need someone to victimize.

I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.
