I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.

Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.

Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.

We had a lion that was living in somebody's basement outside of Branson, Missouri.
