I Like Simple Things. I

I Watched Gene Kelly For His Smile, For His Energy. Vittorio Gassman For His Movement. Clark Gable For His Mustache. And I Watched Lassie Who Was Happy As A Dog.

I'm Happiest On Set Because I'm Not Myself. I'm Someone Else. The Moustache, The Dinner Jacket. It's Not Me. You're Always This Sort Of Double, And It's Liberating. Imagine Being Stuck With Yourself... All Those Doubts.

I Don't Really Know Hollywood, But Living And Shooting In L.a. Was Very Motivating, Inspiring. The Lights, The Extras, Their American Faces, The Energy, The Orpheum Theatre. It Was All Very Inspiring.

I Discovered That Silent Film Is Almost An Advantage. You Just Have To Think Of The Feeling For It To Show. No Lines Pollute It. It Doesn't Take Much - A Gaze, An Eyelash Flutter - For The Emotion To Be Vivid.

I Think I'm More Demanding Than Any Wife.
