“When I saw Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, when she goes after the Jabberwocky at the end and says, “I try to believe in six impossible things before breakfast,” I cried at that! You know, I cry when people prevail more than when something sad or tragic happens. Sometimes the happiest films make me cry, just to see some kind of joy or reunion or something wonderful happen to people, when our world is so dark and troubled. Joy will make me cry.”
