Here’s a sample:

Tim Lammers: Was there a certain amount of reconditioning, vocally, since you screamed “Off with their heads!” quite a bit in “Alice in Wonderland”?

Helena Bonham Carter: It turned out to be very exhausting on the first day of production. I thought to myself, ‘I remember how to play this,’ and by lunchtime I didn’t have any voice left because I had been screaming for an hour (laughs). It was fun for a bit, then I realized, “I can’t do anymore and now I’m mute.”

TL: And was it exhausting, physically?

HBC: It was much more exhausting. The Red Queen is an exhausting character to play. I had a lot more to do and I think my part is actually bigger in this film. And, she’s unhappier. Can you believe it? And she’s even angrier.

“Alice Through the Looking Glass” opens in theaters nationwide Friday.
