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

I would love to work with Ron Howard. I think he is brilliant. I love the stories that he chooses. Theyre always very personal and intense. He loves a lot of emotion, and hes so well equipped to pull all of that out of the actors. I really love that kind of thing and I think thats what movies should be about.

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.

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

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.

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

So I do have to work, you know, and I find as many movies and TV shows that I can, because otherwise I wouldn't have an income.
