We're blessed with, as we were on 'Harry Potter,' lead actors who are amazingly grounded people.

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

We're interested by public personas and private personas, otherwise we wouldn't put on with actors rambling on with the same kind of stuff, over and over again, saying variations of the same thing. I'm always amazed by how fascinated people still are by actors because it's the same version of events that actors describe, all the time.

One key element to Hitchcock is the drooping jowl. That was crucial because his silhouette is crucial. There is something about his silhouette that became his brand.
