Particularly [alfred] Hitchcock, Who Takes His Time

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.

I Do Always Feel Very Proud And Flattered By Being Asked To Be A Part Of American Productions Playing American Characters.

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'd Love Most Of The Movies I Make To Be Four Hours Long.

You Can't Deny Reality Just Because You Can't Explain It.
