I get plenty of time to re-engage with the world I'm trying to depict, so I'm not always living in these parallel worlds.

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.

I had to change the shape of my own voice. It was quite hard to pull off and so once I had it, I stayed in Hitchcock's voice all day on set.

I work best when a little scared, when there's so much more than the lines to think about.

They know you're not Alfred Hitchcock, but you need to be enough Alfred Hitchcock for them not to be bothered by it. That's a reassuring thing.

It's hard for it to make a mark in this city because London has so much culture to offer.

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