It's Hard For It To

I Went To Meet Joe Johnston, The Director, And He's Charming. I've Been Very Lucky. Most Of The Directors I've Worked With Are Charming. But Joe's A Particularly Charming Man, And He Showed Me Lots Of Designs And, Rather Memorably, Welcomed Me To The Marvel Universe.

Certainly For My Father, There Were Great Times, Good Times, Not-so-good Times. He Might Be Shooting A Fellini Film For Six Months, Then Not Working For Two Months. I'm Used To That Dynamic.

They Seem Much Rarer Now, Those Auteur Films That Come Out Of A Director's Imagination And Are Elliptical And Hermetic. All Those Films That Got Me Into Independent Cinema When I Was Watching It Seem Thin On The Ground.

The Prosthetics Were Interesting Because The Artist Was So Good That They Could Just Put A Hitchcock Mask On Me, But You Don't Want To Do That. You're An Actor Playing Hitchcock, So It's About How Much Of That You're Going To Do.

We're Blessed With, As We Were On 'harry Potter,' Lead Actors Who Are Amazingly Grounded People.
