AnnaSophia Robb on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

11-year-old AnnaSophia Robb described her time on the set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, in which she plays Violet Beauregarde. "It was a lot of fun," she said. "Everyone was so great. I love all the British accents that everyone [had] because we shot in London. And it felt like a family because we were there for half a year. And all the sets were very big and real."

One can imagine the effect of turning into a blueberry will me more high tech than in the original Willy Wonka. Robb teased, "I did prosthetics and then my body, I was 14 feet up in the air."

Robb was quite impressed with Johnny Depp as the iconic Willy Wonka. "He's such a great guy. He's really down to earth and just wonderful, just a wonderful human being. And he talks to you. He's not like one of those people who goes off to their trailers and leaves you behind. I've never worked with anybody like that, but he hangs around with you and he talks about his kids, which as a kid makes me feel comfortable."

But director Tim Burton was her favorite coworker. "He's wonderful. I think he's the best out of everybody. I mean, he has such an imagination and it's so cool, because he has all these ideas and then he puts them in. And then you're in this set with his imagination, it feels like you're actually in his mind and I think that's very cool."

The role gave her a nice change of pace from her current film, Because of Winn-Dixie, in which she plays Opal, a nice small town girl. "It was the total opposite from Opal, but I like playing kind of a brat because it's just fun playing mean. But of course, you be mean and then you change back to your real self. You don't want to be mean."
