"He didn't become an actor to be glamorous; he wanted to become characters. Those are the kinds of people I enjoy working with. They're not in it for the celebrity or the perks; they're doing it because they kind of want to hide. That's why I like him." Tim Burton |

"He is the most amazing actor I've ever worked with. I felt very, very free with him." Rosamund Pike |
