>> HELLO!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THOSE GUYS ARE GOOD.
>> Stephen: AREN'T THEY WONDERFUL?
>> AMAZING.
FUNCY.
>> Stephen: THAT'S' GOOD DESCRIPTION.
YOU HAVE KIND OF A MOHAWK.
ARE YOU MOVING TOWARDS A MOHAWK OR IS THAT A MOHAWK GROWING OUT?
>> IT WAS A MOHAWK.
I DID A FILM A COUP OF MONTHS AGO, I WAS PLAYING A PUNK, BASS
GUITAR PLAYER AND THEY BUZZED IT.
>> Stephen: FROM THE 70S?
>> NO, MODERN-DAY PUNK FROM NEW WAVE.
HE COMES IN THIS DOME AND GETS INTRODUCED INTO PUNK MUSIC.
>> Stephen: A DOME?
>> LIKE THE GEODISEASIC DOME.
HE LIVES IN THERE WITH HIS NUTTY GRANDMA AND HAD A KIND OF
ACEALATED EXISTENCE, AND SO THE PUNK MUSIC JUST BLOWS HIS MIND,
BASICALLY.
>> Stephen: DID YOU LIKE IT?
DID YOU GET A LOT OF ATTENTION WITH A MOHAWK WALKING DOWN THE
STREET?
>> I WAS.
I WAS SHOCKED WITH THE IMPRESSION IT GAVE OFF WALKING
INTO STORES AND STUFF.
EVERYONE WAS DOUBLE TAKE.
I JUAN USED FOR IT FOR A WHILE.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T SEEM LEAK A DANGEROUS PERSON.
>> NO I HAVE A NICE, INNOCENT VIBE AROUND ME AND THE MOHAWK
WAS LIKE, "WHAT'S GOING ON IN?
>> Stephen: TIPS YOU OVER, COULD GO PSYCHOANY MOMENT.
THAT'S A GOOD FEELING.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
>> 19.
>> Stephen: OH, TO BE 19 AGAIN.
LAUGH AND YOU JUST GOT YOUR FIRST APARTMENT, DIDN'T YOU?
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: IS THAT AS ADULTS IT SOUNDS, LIKE YOUR OWN
APARTMENT, LIVING IN-- >> LONDON.
>> Stephen: NICE.
>> IT IS.
I MEAN, I'M ENJOYING IT.
I'VE HAD A PRETTY INDEPENDENT LIFE THE LAST YEAR JUST KIND OF
ON THE ROAD, ACTING SO I'VE BEEN BY MYSELF.
MOVING OUT IS FUN.
GETTING MY OWN FURNITURE, LIKE, PAINTING WALLS.
IT TOOK A WHILE.
IT DID ATTACK A WHILE.
I WAS ABOUT FOUR MONTHS BEFORE I HAD A COUCH, SO I JUST HAD,
LIKE, CUSHIONS ON THE FLOOR.
I GOT A TV.
THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I GOT, TV.
>> Stephen, OF COURSE,, OF COURSE, YOU'RE 19.
YOU DON'T NEED A COUCH.
YOU NEED A TV.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIE TIM BURTON.
JOHNNY DEATH PENALTY IS NOT IN THIS TIM BURTON MOVIE, RIGHT?
$LY, CAN IT BE A TIM BURTON MOVIE IF JOHNNY DEPP IS NOT IN
IT?
>> JOHNNY IS NOT IN THIS ONE, SADLY.
>> Stephen: THERE ARE A LOT OF PALE, PEOPLE, RIGHT?
>> LOTS OF PALE PEOPLE.
LOTS OF WHITE MAKE UP AND, YEAH, I MEAN, TIM BURTON MOVIE-- I
MEAN, TIM IS SO ICONIC AND UNIQUE IN ITS STYLE.
JUST WORKING WITH HIM.
I WAS A MASSIVE TIM FAN BEFORE I DID THIS SO JUST BEING ON SET
WATCHING WHAT HE DOES IS AWESOME.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S HE LIKE AS A DIRECTOR?
IS HE VERY HANDS ON, OR IS HE LIKE, "JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT?"
>> IT'S A BIT OF BOTH.
HE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND HE'S VERY
COLLABORATIVE.
IF HE LIKES WHAT YOU'RE COULD GO YOU GET AN IMMEDIATE REACTION.
"AWESOME, KEEP DOINGA THAT!" IF HE DOESN'T LIKE IT, HE'LL
GIVE YOU DIRECTION.
HE DOESN'T-- HE DOESN'T FINISH HIS SENTENCES SO YOU KIND VERY
FAR TO KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO SAY.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
DO YOU DO AN IMPRESSION OF HIM?
>> "SO IF YOU COULD COA LITTLE BIT MORE OF... YOU KNOW.
AND JUST NOT SO MUCH... YEAH, RIGHT?"
AND HEN HE WALKS OFF.
( LAUGHTER ) AND YOU GO, "YEAH, ALL RIGHT,
TIM."
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS?
>> IT TAKES A WHILE.
IT TAKES A COUP OF WEEKS TO GET ON HIS WAVE LENGTH AND
EVENTUALLY DO YOU.
IT'S KIND OF CHAOTIC.
BUT IT'S SO MUCH FUN.
WOW.
>> Stephen: IT'S THE STORY OF-- I MEAN, IT'S A HOME FOR
PECULIAR CHILDREN.
WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
DO WE NEED TO SET THIS UP?
>> THIS IS WHERE MY CHARACTER IS AT THIS HOME CAN HE'S KIND OF
COMING TO TERMS WITH THE CRAZY ( BLEEP ) THAT'S GOING DOWN.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, JIM, LET'S SHOW THEM.
>> THAT HAPPENS EVERY DAY?
>> LIKE CLOCKWORK.
>> WOULD YOU MIND TYING THAT ROPE AROUND MY WAIST.
RIGHT, PROMISE TO HOLD ON TIGHT.
( APPLAUSE ) >> PRETTY COOL.
>> Stephen: DOES EVERYBODY HAVE A SPECIAL POWER?
>> EVERYONE HAS A SPECIAL POWER.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL POWER?
>> I DO HAVE A SUPERB POWER.
