“Witch, do this for me,
Find me a moon
made of longing.
Then cut it sliver thin,
and having cut it,
hang it high
above my beloved's house,
so that she may look up
tonight
and see it,
and seeing it, sigh for me
as I sigh for her,
moon or no moon.”

—  Clive Barker

'Can we study tonight? (Tell anyone, and I'll kill you in you sleep!)”

Lie mirror'd on her sea,
Confounding her astronomers,

Like a platter made of gold,
My death, it almost bored me,
So often was it told.”

“So I do the test, and we do this scene, and it's the scene at the end where I throw dishes, and so I threw some dishes… and 'Cut!'… And I look around, and there's blood everywhere, because I broke a plate or something, and they're all checking me — 'Oh my God, she cut herself' — and couldn't find any cut, and then I look, and I realise. I see Al's hand is bleeding. And I cut Al Pacino, in my screen test. I think then he liked me. I think that was actually the turning point.”
