improvise stanley taxing
Every now and then, they ask me to come in and improvise with Stanley Tucci for an afternoon. They fly me off to America, I improvise for an afternoon - it's not the hardest, most taxing job.
blessed people harry-potter
We're blessed with, as we were on Harry Potter, lead actors who are amazingly grounded people.
long hours
I'd love most of the movies I make to be four hours long.
marketing trying important
I love making movies, I love trying to make them as good as I can, but I feel like sometimes the marketing and publicity around the movie, becomes the most important part of it.
girl catching-fire different
You come in as this satellite part of the film [Catching Fire], so I only see Stanley [Tucci] in my scenes. These kinds of movies have so many different components; it's about as different from doing The Girl as you could imagine.
speak
Particularly [Alfred] Hitchcock, who takes his time with everything he says. There's a controlling way in how he speaks because he takes his time to finish all his sentences.
coffee character gossip
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.
cities london culture
It's hard for it to make a mark in this city because London has so much culture to offer.
different strange happens
It's always very strange to have your life dramatized because it never happens like that. Things will be different.
actors may red
All of these red carpet events may seem natural for you journalists, but it doesn't feel natural for actors.
years bob flu
I didn't sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu.
trying world plenty
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.
philosophy play trying
I would absolutely like to play more leading roles. There's no philosophy - well, the only philosophy, I suppose, is to try and do different things.
voice shapes hard
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.
