The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Toby Jones
- It’s Toby Jones playing Alfred Hitchcock, not Alfred Hitchcock. We all felt that his silhouette was crucial, so his nose and lips were crucial as well. We had to build it out a bit to get the silhouette. But, with my nose being so small within the proportion of my face, the first nose was too big. I felt like a nose on parade.
- 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.
- I didn’t sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu.
- I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds (1968) – that he’d tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.
- There are things that I would avoid, so I have the choice to say no, when I feel I’m repeating myself too much. But then there could be a reason to do that with a good director. So I think actors have to have a loose philosophy.
- There’s something in the rhythm and roll of it that is connected to the way Hitchcock thinks and moves. Then there is everything he ingested – the cigar smoking and drinking that’s imprinted on his voice.
- The prosthetics were interesting because the artist was so good that they could just put a Hitchcock mask on me, but you don’t want to do that. You’re an actor playing Hitchcock, so it’s about how much of that you’re going to do.
- It’s one of those jobs where you go, ‘Oh no, I’ve got to play ‘Alfred Hitchcock’. I have to play him even though I know what this is going to involve.’
- Four hours of prosthetics every morning, the jowls and the nose, and it was very hot so they’re having to attend to it all day, and you’re still petrified of so many things, such as, can I speak properly? Hitchcock never quite lost those East End vowels, even though he had the softened California consonants.
- I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.
