Let's put it this way, when I was casting, I cast Viggo first and then found someone who could play his wife, rather than the other way around. So for me he's still the lead character.

I don't think Alfonso was a big expert on Potter either. He was feeling his way through it more than I was.

You can tell alot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.

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.

The man who kills the animals today is the man who kills the people who get in his way tomorrow.

For example I don't work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. They're different guys and they work in different ways. So a good sensitive director has his general style and technique and personality that he uses but you don't impose that on the actors.
