I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - 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.
Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted.
I was traveling on our tour bus through Europe and I was thinking I want to have long blonde hair.
