So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either. ↗

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. ↗

I put it to the great man [Hitchcock], the key to fictitious terror is partition or containment: so long as the Bates Motel is sealed off from our world, we want to peer in, like at a scorpion enclosure. But a film that shows the world is a Bates Motel, well, that's... the stuff of Buchloe, dystopia, depression. We'll dip our toes in a predatory, amoral, godless unive3rse, but only our toes. ↗

Even Hitchcock liked to think of himself as a puppeteer who was manipulating the strings of his audience and making them jump. He liked to think he had that kind of control. ↗

Hitchcock loves to be misunderstood, because he has based his whole life around misunderstandings. ↗

I can remember soundtracks that you just can't separate from the film - It's just so intertwined, so important. Like the Hitchcock ones where they kind of inform each other and become this larger thing as a result. ↗

I didn't hang around films. I don't know if I'd ever seen Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes. ↗

Well, maybe it has to do with the fact that I was a complete Hitchcock fanatic from age 9. ↗

More than anything else, I'd like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso. ↗
