I'd Love Most Of The Movies I

I Still Don't Feel I Know Hitchcock At All. I Find That The More One Looks, The More Elusive He Becomes. But My Admiration For Hitchcock The Filmmaker Remains Undiminished. He Is A Giant Of The Cinema And The Darkness In Him Informs His Cinematic Language. You Can't Separate One From The Other.

I Often Get Sent Scripts About Little Men In Big Situations. There's A Comic Element To It, Which Is Forces Stacked Against This Little Guy, And How Is He Going To Defeat Them?

There's Not A Huge Pile Of Scripts At Home. It's What Happens To Be On The Table At That Moment With Your Availability. And Then You Have No Control Over When These Things Come Out.

There's Something In The Rhythm And Roll Of It That Is Connected To The Way Hitchcock Thinks And Moves. Then There Is Everything He Ingested - The Cigar Smoking And Drinking That's Imprinted On His Voice.

Hitchcock Is A Big Ask. I Am Playing Someone Significantly Older Than Me And Someone Significantly Bigger Than Me. The Stuff I Find Very Interesting Is Why Certain Physical Things Have Come About. How Can He Be Light On His Feet When He Is So Big? How Can His Weight Vary So Much? Where Does This Rather Beautiful Voice Come From?
