I don't know if it's harder but when you're playing a real person you want to honor their memory - even if they're a criminal or someone that the public loathed. That can be challenging.

I didn't sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu.

I'd love most of the movies I make to be four hours long.

I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.

I think it will be, as always, interesting to compare different portrayals of Hitchcock. I'm very honored that I'm playing the same part as Anthony Hopkins.

What happens is some of the characters I've played have voices that are so different from my own, that it would be ridiculous if I would dip in and out of that voice in between takes to ask for a coffee, or something. Or to gossip about whatever was going on.

All of these red carpet events may seem natural for you journalists, but it doesn't feel natural for actors.
