We're Blessed With, As We Were On

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.

I Went To Meet Joe Johnston, The Director, And He's Charming. I've Been Very Lucky. Most Of The Directors I've Worked With Are Charming. But Joe's A Particularly Charming Man, And He Showed Me Lots Of Designs And, Rather Memorably, Welcomed Me To The Marvel Universe.

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?'

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

There Are Far More Good Actors Than There Are Jobs For Them, So It's A Big Question Of Luck.
