The Filmmaking Process Is A Very Personal

If The Audience Lets That Stuff Wash Over Them, You Know - Almost Like Music, Rather Than Dialogue - And Doesn't Fight It, Then They'll Have A Much Easier Time Rather Than Being Sort Of Frustrated And Confused Otherwise. But If You Get In The Right State Of Mind It Really Does Work Quite Well.

Let's Put It This Way, When I Was Casting, I Cast Viggo First And Then Found Someone Who Could Play His Wife, Rather Than The Other Way Around. So For Me He's Still The Lead Character.

When You're In The Muck, You Can Only See Muck. If You Somehow Manage To Float Above It, You Still See The Muck, But You See It From A Different Perspective. And You See Other Things, Too. That's The Consolation Of Philosophy.

So Not Only Can You Not Imagine Dying, You Can't Really Imagine Existence Before You Were Born.

Even Hitchcock Liked To Think Of Himself As A Puppeteer Who Was Manipulating The Strings Of His Audience And Making Them Jump. He Liked To Think He Had That Kind Of Control.
