One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.

I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr Hitchcock. He was so insistent and obsessive, but I was an extremely strong young woman, and there was no way he was going to get the better of me.

I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.

He was such a fabulous drama coach. What better person to have than Alfred Hitchcock? His work as a director was impeccable. I learned so much.

I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.

Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.

To be the object of someone's obsession is horrible.
