‘Gothic Romance is, itself, a genre, as separate from horror. You know, I think horror is something that has evolved more recently as something that is explicitly about terrifying you, about giving you nightmares, about creating the scariest environment possible. And Gothic romance is more… when it came around in literature, it was the first time that anyone had explained the supernatural in terms of unprocessed emotional trauma. The idea that ghosts were emotions locked in time, that they were warnings about the past or future, and it’s always bound up with these two forces of love and death. And usually there is a young, innocent heroine who is drawn to a tall, dark stranger with a crumbling mansion and impelled into a very dangerous situation by her sexuality… At the time it was a very rebellious genre, people didn’t talk about sex and death in the same context. And so, that’s where Crimson Peak sits: it is squarely a love story, with ghosts in it.’

Just Tom being his usual loquacious self ;)

Tom talking about villains in the MCU: ‘Somebody said to me that every villain is a hero in his own mind... and I think it’s important for the audience, even though they can perhaps see that revenge often gets you nothing - it’s a fool’s errand... an evacuation of your own anger into the external world - at least audiences can see why that character is upset or angry. So I suppose it’s about access, It’s trying to allow the audience to see that, even if the motivations are not perfect, you can see the point of view. ’
