Famous Quotes & Sayings

Colin Farrell

I am more comfortable doing a drama.

David Yates

Alfred Hitchcock

I like to invest as a performer in the director's vision and then bring a sense of reality to whatever I'm doing, whether it's comedy or whether it's drama, and trust that they're going to tell me if something's reading as funny or if it's reading as dramatic or reading in the right tone.
