Transcript

00:00When you're all driving carpool and banging your Pilates instructors to fill the empty

00:14voids in your life?

00:16I think maybe our relationship because it was so collaborative and there were so many

00:22ideas being thrown out and TV is different because you do a very fast paced thing and

00:28you kind of have to be quick on your feet and I think when he had told me working on

00:32the original one how thrown together and spontaneous it all was and how you could tell that that

00:38experience really meant a lot to him so maybe there was something in doing TV for the first

00:42time that kind of ignited that kind of quick nature, you know, you got to be quick on your

00:46feet and I don't know, I think because we had a similar sense of humor and way of working

00:54I think that's maybe why he thought about me for this one but I think it's a weird,

01:00I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that really so sorry for stumbling around.

01:03May I dare to say that, you know, Tim was being asked about this for the last thirty

01:09something years was he doing another one and I know that he wanted to get that feeling

01:13back because he so loved that time in his life and that experience and so he was full

01:19of ideas and I'm sure people were giving him ideas but he was full of ideas and kind

01:23of knew generally what he wanted to do if he did another Beetlejuice and then he worked

01:28with Jenna and it is about you and the way you work together but you also talk about

01:33how it was sort of more internal from, you know, from Wednesday's point of view and I

01:39think going inside that young girl's head like he had done with Lydia in the first movie

01:45I think that's what really unlocked this for him and it was you and yes he did, you

01:53and your character were what opened up his mind to being able to, you know, ground this

02:00movie, you know, talking with Tim about it just we both find it hilarious people who

02:05think they're artists and, you know, the delusion that we all have about ourselves.

02:10We try to control social networking but you'll never, you'll never control the impression

02:15you make on others and we're delusional and in the world of creativity, you know, thinking

02:20that you have something to offer and just people not getting it is the worst thing in

02:23the world for people who think they have talent, like me, yeah it's just I think we find that

02:30hilarious so, or I know I do and Tim does, so that, you know, that was just always going

02:38to be there and he gave me this giant gallery show and we never said this out loud but I

02:42think my husband paid for it, there's just no way I earned it in any other way, you know,

02:49so and I watched, I actually did watch the movie like right before going to London to

02:52shoot, it happened to be on TV and I remember, I was reminded how quickly I spoke as Delia

02:57and it might just have been inexperience at the time but that really helped me, yeah,

03:02too.

03:03Willem kills me every time that he's on screen, every time he enters and he gets another coffee

03:08just to throw it away or never take a sip of it, the pose with the gun and not really

03:14knowing what he's doing, talking to himself in the mirror, it's just like, it's an actor,

03:17actor, actor, it's one of my favorite cliches so, he was pretty good, that's good, Beetlejuice

03:25for one for sure and then The Shrinkers, I guess Bob the Shrinker is his name, yeah just

03:32they're real characters, they're just so lost in this afterlife, they're fumbling around,

03:38yeah, those aren't really, and working in an office, Bob actually carries a lot of the

03:42dramatic weight in the movie, he does, yes, Bob cares, in the pinstripe suit, he's really

03:46trying to do his job, yeah, he is, yeah, good guy.
