Ever since watching Helena Bonham Carter with that huge hair I’ve been obsessed with her. It’s a film I watch over and over again.

It’s brilliant. A really unconventional love story.

I love those characters in films who are really depressive like Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family and Harold, who is obsessed with death and dying. I’ve always identified with those kind of characters for some reason.

This was a huge reference for The Theory of Everything. We watched some scenes from this movie. The intensity of their love for one another -- that very quick, instant love -- we wanted to capture some of that strength and passion.

I watched this about a million times with my friends when I was growing up.

Such a brilliant script. Patricia Arquette is a massive influence.
