I'd Love Most Of The Movies I

I Was A Fan Of Hitchcock, But More Importantly Than That, He Is Such An Inscrutable Man, And A Very Carefully Inscrutable Man. He Apparently Was Blank-faced With A Calm And Controlled Presence. I Was Immediately Anxious And Thought, 'how Am I Going To Get Behind That?'

We're Interested By Public Personas And Private Personas, Otherwise We Wouldn't Put On With Actors Rambling On With The Same Kind Of Stuff, Over And Over Again, Saying Variations Of The Same Thing. I'm Always Amazed By How Fascinated People Still Are By Actors Because It's The Same Version Of Events That Actors Describe, All The Time.

Hitchcock's Got A Very Interesting Voice; It's A Very Controlled, Measured Rhythm That's Quite Slow And, In That Sense, Also Felt Quite Controlling In Its Pace. He Retained Something From His Childhood, That London Sound, As Well As Adopting Some Of The L.a. Sounds... All Of This Helps You Create The Character.

It's Hard For It To Make A Mark In This City Because London Has So Much Culture To Offer.

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.
