I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.
If you're a queen, you're powerless, so I'd probably demote myself and go shopping.
Wearing corsets all the time was completely incapacitating, as far as digestion goes.
J.K. Rowling said Bellatrix's role was going to be significant in the last one, when I showed some reluctance in playing a tiny bit part. Up front, they said, 'You're very significant in the last one.' But significant could mean a lot of things. That could just mean a significant plot point. Doesn't necessarily equal big part.
Multitasking? I can't even do two things at once. I can't even do one thing at once.
It didn't matter what you look like. You don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and there's a lot to be said for that. Corpse Bride can just play all my parts from now on and I'll just do the voice.
There is no normality in life.
I think my mouth just opens and I spontaneously say things that occur to me.
I was weird right from the start. It's just that you can't ever expect people to get you. And I do think that really did mess with my head, being well-known young, when you really don't know who you are.
I've got Tourette's, practically. I'll tell anyone anything.
I was like one of those nauseatingly nice children. I was very, very well behaved and boring.
It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights.
When I was young I had so many inferiority complexes. I had an inferiority complex because I didn't go to university. I had an inferiority complex because I didn't train. Then it gets tiring. And you do get bored of it.
People say, 'You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous.' Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could.
The problems come when your personal life and relationships come under scrutiny in the press and often very uncomplimentary things are printed about you.
All the ancient classic fairy tales have always been scary and dark.
I enjoy those small chats you have when people come up and talk to you about your work. It only involves a few seconds of effort to be nice to those people, and I am very grateful for the kind words that people have taken the trouble to express to me in person.
Well, at least I'm not too thin. I eat.
I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
I'm always attracted to lower budget, not because it's lower budget, but because they tend to be better scripts. It's the scripts that tend to be the small arthouse film that tend to be more actor-led and character driven.
