You can`t copy a film. If I hold a camera, it`s different than if Irving Penn holds it. Even if it`s in the same place, it will magically take on his character. Which was part of the experiment. Our `Psycho` showed that you can`t really appropriate. Or yo...
Gus Van Sant
Psycho (1960) gave me very wrinkled skin. I was in that shower for seven days - 70 setups. At least, he [Alfred Hitchcock] made sure the water was warm.
Janet Leigh
This is kind of my trilogy of madmen. I played the psycho in Cold Mountain (2003), my character in Hooligans (2005) (aka Green Street) is fairly psychotic and now I`ve got this role. On his role in Children of Men (2006).
Charlie Hunnam
The violence in the "Psycho" movies is born out of plot, passion and character ... Don`t just dispatch people by six to the reel and say its entertainment.
Anthony Perkins
[on playing "Norman Bates" in Psycho (1960)] Not many people know this, but I was in New York rehearsing for a play [Frank Loesser`s "Greenwillow"] when the shower scene was filmed in Hollywood. It is rather strange to go through life being identified wit...
Anthony Perkins
[on the film adaptations of Bret Easton Ellis books Less Than Zero (1987) and American Psycho (2000)] Those two movies have stripped away his literary devices, and the filmmakers are just trying to tell the story. If you strip away Bret`s devices, you str...
Roger Avary
I don`t think I could play a character that I couldn`t relate to somehow. I`m not unfamiliar with frustration, anger, shame, helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration, that sense of unfairne...
Terry O`Quinn
I quit a year and a half ago and I turned into a werewolf. I went nuts. I`ve been smoking since I was in junior high school. I did a couple of episodes of The West Wing two years ago and I was in the middle of one of these psycho things and turned around ...
John Goodman
[On Alfred Hitchcock] I think he`s a very good technician. And he has something in Psycho (1960), he had some moments. Psycho is one of his most interesting pictures because he had to make the picture very fast, with very primitive means. He had little mo...

Ingmar Bergman
On her Psycho (1960) co-star, the late Anthony Perkins: To me, he was a leading man. But to the rest of the world, he`ll always be `Norman Bates.` People just wouldn`t let him be anything else.
Janet Leigh
One of my film heroes is Peter Weir, who made Fearless (1993) but also made Green Card (1990). Ang Lee makes a western, he makes a Seventies psycho movie, a costume drama and a monster movie. I wanted to be like that. I finished this in October and I have...
Paul Bettany
My mom called this morning to make sure I was still alive, that I haven`t been mugged, that I haven`t been raped. She likes it when I have people over so that I`m not alone. Somehow she`s under the illusion that the buddy system works for home invasion. P...
Monica Keena
On his transformation into Patrick Bateman for American Psycho (2000): "The character is so vain and obsessed with his looks. While the psychology of the character was something that I could perform, you can`t fake the physicality. Being English, I tend t...
Christian Bale
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it`s incredibly ro...

Christina Ricci
When you`re a young actor you like to go for characters with a bit of flair, so in many films I ended up playing the weirdos. But I can assure you I`m not a psycho or a criminal or a bully.
Kiefer Sutherland
When asked "Why in the hell would you want to do a shot-by-shot remake of Psycho in color?" He serenely replied "So no one else would have to."
Gus Van Sant
[On his part in The Green Mile (1999)]: I guess Wild Bill is a disgusting, racist, pedophile freak. But I`d been wanting to play a psycho, a juicy one. I saw him as Huck Finn meets Satan. The kind of part Gary Oldman or John Malkovich might play. It`s jus...
Sam Rockwell
I have a lot of affection for Norman Bates and a lot of sympathy. So does the audience, I think. He`s not just a monster. He`s tortured. The real secret of the "Psycho" movies is that they`re tragedies first and horror movies second.
Anthony Perkins
[on working with Alfred Hitchcock on "Psycho"] Hitch relished scaring me. When we were making "Psycho," he experimented with the mother`s corpse, using me as his gauge. I would return from lunch, open the door to the dressing room and propped up in my cha...

KISS Psycho Circus is my current favorite. I`m not ashamed to say that I prefer the mindless fun of blasting hordes of creatures to exploration or adventure games.
Mike Wilson
It is all nonsense, to be sure; and so much the greater nonsense inasmuch as the true interpretation of many dreams - not by any means of all dreams - moves, it may be said, in the opposite direction to the method of psycho-analysis.
