Не полное, но какое уж нашла))

Her hair is in character today, but you couldn’t really tell. She also has the filthiest fingernails you’ve seen since primary school. Like the hairdo, they are the result of playing Mrs Lovett – maker of mud pies, and much worse – against Johnny Depp’s Sweeney Todd in Burton’s movie, which is shooting in London.

It must be tough to stop being a couple on set, I say. She rolls her eyes. “The problem is that we don’t stop. Tim sighs loudly. I say, ‘What? What? What am I doing wrong?’ Johnny looks away diplomatically, or starts dusting his razor overattentively. We’re both banned from discussing the film at home. It’s number one on the list of commandments I’ve written down.” Since they fell in love on Planet of the Apes, he has cast her in four films, including Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. “After this, I wouldn’t work with him again,” she hoots, lying her socks off. Actually, her admiration for him seeps into every corner of our conversation, and, having spent 10 minutes with her, you can tell they are a good match: smart, alert and cackling with laughter at silly jokes. “Now I have Tim, Johnny and Billy all doing poo-poo jokes together. What a nightmare!”

Tim is unbelievably disciplined about employing me only if I am absolutely right. For Sweeney Todd, it was like I had to be more right than anyone else; it was ‘in spite of’, instead of ‘because of’, being his girlfriend. I know a lot of actresses will say it’s because I was sleeping with him, but it’s not true. I had to audition for Stephen Sondheim, for God’s sake! When it’s all over, I’ll tell the whole saga of how I got the part. It was like being in How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? – so painful and so acute that Tim said, ‘We cannot watch this programme. We are actually living it, and it is hideous.’ ”

Sweeney Todd, his first musical, has been a high-pressure adventure for Burton, spiced with the drama of the production being halted during the illness of Depp’s daughter, now thankfully recovered. For its leading lady, the breakthrough has been learning to sing. “One audition, I sung for four hours, and Tim said, ‘No, no, that’s enough. Will you stop?’ I’ve had nine months of singing daily. Now I’ve got this skill, this instrument, and it makes me feel finally like a proper actor. I feel more self-respect.”

Recently, A Room with a View was on television when the Burton-Bonham Carters were at home, and she cringed while he laughed. Isn’t he charmed by the vision of Edwardian femininity? She splutters. “He’s not charmed at all! He just talks about my hyperactive eyebrows. For Mrs Lovett, he says, ‘Don’t move your caterpillars; don’t move your hands.’ He takes the piss out of me most of the time.
