Interview with Helena from 2010

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/feb/06/helena-bonham-carter-interview
This interview is significent as she talks about her career and the changes she has made over the years and how she feels about the performances she gives and the films she picks:

"It was Brad's idea for me to be in it. In the six weeks when you're up for an Oscar, there's a little ­window where you're offered everything. Seventh week, when you haven't got it, you're fucked. Forget it. So you have to get in there. I was offered so many nice parts, and I went for Fight Club."

In the interview also includes how aging affects her acting and how her roles have developed:

"Ageing has helped hugely... There's no question I'm a better actor, and you leave ­behind a certain typecasting. I was like the corset bimbo."

She also talks about her different styles and defies Hollywood conventions in her appearanes, which doesn't hinder her films:

"I've never had white teeth. To be honest, I've never been told to do any of those horrible things – get your teeth whitened or your nose straightened."

Everything that she talks about helps to further get a grasp on the development of her career, which helps when writing about her various roles and performances over the years.
