I'd Love Most Of The Movies I

I'm Very Fortunate That I Get Asked To Do Very Different Kinds Of Roles And I Realize How Much I Enjoy That. I Enjoy The Challenge Of Transformation. There Are Actors Who Play One Character, Or A Certain Kind Of Character, The Whole Of Their Lives. I Really Relish The Opportunity To Have The Challenge To Totally Transform.

There's Something In The Rhythm And Roll Of It That Is Connected To The Way Hitchcock Thinks And Moves. Then There Is Everything He Ingested - The Cigar Smoking And Drinking That's Imprinted On His Voice.

I Still Don't Feel I Know Hitchcock At All. I Find That The More One Looks, The More Elusive He Becomes. But My Admiration For Hitchcock The Filmmaker Remains Undiminished. He Is A Giant Of The Cinema And The Darkness In Him Informs His Cinematic Language. You Can't Separate One From The Other.

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 Don't Know If It's Harder But When You're Playing A Real Person You Want To Honor Their Memory - Even If They're A Criminal Or Someone That The Public Loathed. That Can Be Challenging.
