I knew I wanted to become an actor when I was 7 years old. My dad was working with Alfred Hitchcock, my mom was working with Martin Scorsese - and it was the great summer of my childhood.

I worked with the best directors - Martin Scorsese, John Huston, David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock was great.

When you stand up there and you think, [Martin] Scorsese doesn't have one, Robert Altman doesn't have one, [Alfred] Hitchcock never got one, Howard Hawks, you kind of feel silly, you feel like someone should just take it away,

It seems to me that television is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you're on.

What is drama but life with the dull bits cut out.

My knowledge of trains - and love before first sight, love at negative-one sight - comes from Alfred Hitchcock.
