Working in film lets me travel, which is one of my passions. I like to visit remote places and see real people.

The Brothers Grimm is a work of fantasy by one of the true visionary filmmakers working today, whereas The Cave is just one big silly, scary action movie.

I was jealous the whole way through.

He's the guy, the creature guy.

He'd knock over bits of the set because he couldn't really see, ... He had the 8-pound head on.

I went out with a friend to a lesbian bar, and I flirted my (butt) off. It was such a great night. It was so freeing and such fun. I noticed that everyone there was so open and kind. There are no boundaries.

He'd lift it up to look at you and talk to you, ... He was like a scary horse.

European legends have sad endings.
