I think it's really important to have a life and have interests outside of this [movie] business, and not rely on this business to validate you as a human being. If you do that, you're really in a dangerous spot.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

I was always like, "I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!' "

I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.

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, myself, am strange and unusual.
