10th July 2006 Quote"I'm attracted to the people who are considered freaks. Since I was young, I've identified with characters considered by "normal" society to be outcasts and oddballs."

11th July 2006 Quote"Taken in context, what I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation. It is a shame that the metaphor I used was taken so radically out of context and slung about irresponsibly by the news media. There was no anti-American sentiment. In fact, it was just the opposite. I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it. It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful."

12th July 2006 Quote"I like to think that there's another plane, place, life, something else going on around us. We're all sitting here in the flesh and in fact, we're surrounded by many, many spirits, just whirling in and out. It's an interesting idea."

13th July 2006 Quote"I must be the worst dancer in the world. I never understood dancing, not even in junior high. If there was some sort of a tribal ritual or something like that, I could understand. But just moving your body to music was strange to me. To do it in front of the camera was sheer terror. They had to fool me, pump me up with confidence."

14th July 2006 Quote"I always loved silent film. Everything had to come out of their emotions and their eyes and their body movements."

15th July 2006 Quote"I was there every day, every night you know, with him (Hunter Thompson). You know, sometimes with a video camera … You just try and take as much as you possibly can from their life — their movement, their tics, their sort of beliefs."

16th July 2006 Quote"I'm still too dumb to make choices just because it is going to be successful. In terms of this being a giant production, I still chose it the same way I choose other films. I really saw something in the character I could do something with."

19th July 2006 Quote"When you walk into a room of 250 naked women it's very strange. There's so many girls and they're so nude. It's impossible to focus on it. It almost doesn't register in a way. It's like wallpaper."

20th July 2006 Quote"Marlon Brando is maybe the greatest actor of the last two centuries. But his mind is much more important than the acting thing. The way that he looks at things, doesn't judge things, the way that he assesses things. He's as important as, uh... who's important today? Jesus, not many people... Stephen Hawking!"

21st July 2006 Quote"... It's Tim's version of Roald Dahl's classic book and it's gonna be a wild ride. Tim and I have had a couple of meetings, sat down and had some talks about where he wants to go, where we need to go. And I think it's gonna be great, you know? Big shoes [to fill], though. Gene Wilder did such an awesome job in that film in the early '70s, so I mean, taking that character of Willy Wonka and going somewhere completely different is ... he sort of made the job infinitely more difficult for me."

23rd July 2006 Quote"I can remember when I finished Edward Scissorhands, looking in the mirror as the girl was doing my make-up for the last time and thinking, it was like the 90th or 89th day of shooting and I remember looking and going 'Wow, this is it. I'm saying goodbye to this guy, I'm saying goodbye to Edward Scissorhands.' You know, it was kind of sad. But in fact, I think they're all still somehow in there."

24th July 2006 Quote"One of the most incredible moments I've ever had was sitting in Vincent [Price]'s trailer...I was showing him this first-edition book I have of the complete works of Poe--with really amazing illustrations. Vincent was going nuts over the drawings, and he started talking about The Tomb of Ligeia. Then he closed the book and began to recite it to me in this beautiful voice, filling the room with huge sounds. Such passion! I looked in the book later, and it was verbatim. Word perfect. It was a great moment. I'll never forget that."
