00:14Probably that I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp and I wanted everybody to leave us alone.

00:30while filming Death of a Unicorn in which he asked her directly about the rumor.
00:34But I thought that that was pretty hilarious.
00:36I was on set with Richard E. Grant and he came up to me and he just said,
00:39oh so you and Johnny and I laughed because I don't know that person.

01:51that was so influential on me as a person and also so many people
01:55it's kind of too much to comprehend I think.
