Certainly For My Father, There Were Great

I'm Very Interested In People, So If A Character Happens To Be Real, There's That Much More To Look At.

They Seem Much Rarer Now, Those Auteur Films That Come Out Of A Director's Imagination And Are Elliptical And Hermetic. All Those Films That Got Me Into Independent Cinema When I Was Watching It Seem Thin On The Ground.

You Can't Deny Reality Just Because You Can't Explain It.

If You Ever Have The Good Fortune To Meet Tippi Hedren, She's An Amazing Woman. You Can't Quite Believe She Is The Age She Is.

You're Playing A Character In A Drama Who Happens To Be Based On Someone Who Existed. It's Never Going To 'be' That Person, But It's Based On Someone Well-known, And You Want To Create Enough Of That Person For It Not To Be A Distraction.
