Patricia Highsmith

My imagination functions much better when I don't have to speak to people.

Ripley is married. And he's not lost. He has his feet on the ground.

Robert Walker as Bruno was excellent. He had elegance and humor, and the proper fondness for his mother.

I love Hindi films.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.

When I was 16, I used to hang out at the Nambucca pub in North London and see The Libertines play live.
