To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research...
It's so normal for a teenager to dress in black -- and be real unhappy and stay in your room and say sarcastic things. How could something so normal be considered morbid?
I really liked it. It was awesome - my first tabloid story. If you're going to have a tabloid story written about you, it might as well be with Johnny Depp.
It's Aslan, the lion from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. It's a symbol of my hellish childhood. I struggled through my oppressive teenage years and when I turned 18 I escaped. Like Aslan I was finally free.
I don't know who Peter Lorre is. Pathetic right? It shows you how completely gross and uncultured my generation is.
You always fear when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson.
I think I am naturally attracted to things that are a little bit out of this world.
I don't think I like characters who are afraid and ashamed of who they are.
There are a lot of theories about Shakespeare.
Naturally, my body language changes given whatever environment I'm in.
I was really bored and unhappy in school, and I used to act out and do horrible things.
I think my anorexia was to do with being a teenager, not being in films.
I am a Christian. I haven't really talked about that before. It is something very private. But I do pray and my beliefs are very important to me.
When I was younger, I did self-mutilate. I'd be upset, so I'd do it, & it would calm me down. It's a horrible way to feel better. But there are two parts of your brain - one that really wants to destroy the other. & sometimes the idea of self-destruction is very romantic. I got over that.
