When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'

I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.

Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.

I am scared easily, here is a list of my adrenaline - production: 1: small children, 2: policemen, 3: high places, 4: that my next movie will not be as good as the last one.

There is nothing so good as a burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
