Helena Bonham Carter on her relationship with Tim Burton | BBC Sounds

i like the idea of having an argument on set while filming sweeney todd and then johnny depp's there looking awkwardly at his razors bbc sounds how did you find where can we collaborating with yeah it so depends on the characters and it depends on the relationship that you have as working partners on planet eights when we weren't together he was fantastically respectful and he is and he's a delight to work with and then we frame a cropper on sweeney todd particularly because we both were out of our depths i'd never sung before he'd never done a musical and it's that classic thing is that you take the stress out on the person who you know best and we really didn't get on that one amazing i got pregnant but let's not go into that he was saved up for the x-rated podcast yeah it was a very big change from the relationship at home whereas basically he called me chief when we were together so i made all the decisions which he was happy to abdicate not that i'd ever want to be chief but i would talk it was a different balance i sort of felt i had to become a geisha girl a bit on set be very aware of what i said because he's a very sensitive man and he wants to have a clear mind i think on some level i was a hindrance to his concentration he's a hilarious man and we had a lot of laughs but there were times when working together was not harmonious i mean johnny would just look at his razors as he's playing sweeney and johnny depp yeah because we weren't actually very argumentative as a couple except on sweeney it might have been the subject matter you know tim sort of identified with sweeney and i was playing mrs lovett so i like the idea of having an argument on set while filming sweeney todd and then johnny depp's there looking awkwardly at his race i think johnny depp seems like the kind of person who's been around enough people seen enough of the world that he can cope with a domestic basically tim and johnny are very shy i don't think people realize that and johnny was caught in the middle grounded with louis theroux on bbc sounds
