Michael is a funny character, for whom I have a great deal of affection. He sat across his desk and seemed to be a bit of a blunt fellow. We began talking about the characters and he opened up about his vision.

I remember feeling that Michael was extremely sensitive when it came to that moment. Most directors are and they usually rely, at least in my experience, on the actress to take over. And Michael is a gentleman.

Michael has a connection with children, just like Mickey Mouse does, and he brings happiness to them, and joy.

Part of Michael's uniqueness, I think, comes from the fact that he worked with music. He had a tape which he gave me with many different compositions, really eclectic. These pieces of music were sources of inspiration.

Michael C. Hall is an incredibly detailed actor who can convey so much with just an eyebrow.

The first time I met Michael, we saw each other on a TV show.

There came a point in time when Michael was under a great deal of pressure to alter the film in a way that was just disturbing to him. I had not seen the movie, yet. He phoned me in July of '92 to look at his version.

Michael Kitchen was a great person to work with. So attentive and just great at what he does and supportive, also.

He was also very clear that the decision to cast me as Cora was all Michael's.

Michael is the kind of guy who has rhythm; he has rock'n'roll in his soul, whether he really plays it or not.
