I Work Best When A Little Scared,

Best Ever Was Filming In Barcelona Last Year, And I Had A Couple Of Scenes With De Niro. He's A Very Shy Man. Speaks So Quietly That People Tend To Bend Down And Adopt The Same Tone, Almost The Same Voice, Whenever They Talk To Him - Watching, You'd Think Someone's Offering To Carry Out A Hit For Him When They're Just Offering Him A Cup Of Coffee.

Somewhere The Glamour Has Gone Because Of The Industrialization Of This Whole Process. I Wish It [filming] Felt As Magical And Glamorous As People Want It To Be, But It Feels Like A Routine People Are Going Through.

The Prosthetics Were Interesting Because The Artist Was So Good That They Could Just Put A Hitchcock Mask On Me, But You Don't Want To Do That. You're An Actor Playing Hitchcock, So It's About How Much Of That You're Going To Do.

I've Got To Tell You, I've Played Real Characters Before And People Always Bring Up This Word 'impersonation,' And I'm Never Entirely Sure What It Means.

When You're Training As An Actor, A Lot Of The Big Work You're Learning Is To Treat Fictional Characters Like Real People. You Don't Have The Problem Of Discovering A Backstory With Real People, But There's Always A Mystery Which Is Common To Both Fictional And Factual Characters. They Are Never Quite The Person You Think They Are.
