Favorite Toby Jones Quotes

1. "I get plenty of time to re-engage with the world I'm trying to depict, so I'm not always living in these parallel worlds." ~ Toby Jones
2. "They know you're not Alfred Hitchcock, but you need to be enough Alfred Hitchcock for them not to be bothered by it. That's a reassuring thing." ~ Toby Jones
3. "You always get told how important the premiere and doing the press is, but I have suspicions." ~ Toby Jones
4. "Often jobs are un-turndownable even before you read the script. You go, 'Well, I have to do that.'" ~ Toby Jones
5. "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." ~ Toby Jones
6. "I don't know if it's harder but when you're playing a real person you want to honor their memory - even if they're a criminal or someone that the public loathed. That can be challenging." ~ Toby Jones
7. "There is this miraculous thing I heard Hugh Grant talking about - the thing about screen acting is that you can read people's thoughts. You are trying to register something inside and usually the eyes in cinema are where you will register that." ~ Toby Jones
8. "When working abroad you work pretty hard, but with time off, this is the greatest job in the world. You drive. You explore Memphis, or wherever you've landed, or go and see Dr John, or the Californian landscape. And, yes, I've had a few good meals." ~ Toby Jones
9. "Best ever was filming in Barcelona last year, and I had a couple of scenes with De Niro. He's a very shy man.

10. "Certainly for my father, there were great times, good times, not-so-good times. He might be shooting a Fellini film for six months, then not working for two months. I'm used to that dynamic." ~ Toby Jones
11. "I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said, 'Oh, you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote, but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So, these things take their time to dribble down the food chain." ~ Toby Jones
12. "All of these red carpet events may seem natural for you journalists, but it doesn't feel natural for actors." ~ Toby Jones
13. "I didn't sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu." ~ Toby Jones
14. "I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters." ~ Toby Jones
15. "I had to change the shape of my own voice. It was quite hard to pull off and so once I had it, I stayed in Hitchcock's voice all day on set." ~ Toby Jones
