I like actors - such as Margaret Rutherford and Peter Lorre - who aren`t afraid to over-act like real people. When I take a job I can always come up with ten different ways of doing the part. But I`ll always choose the flashiest one. You`ve got to dress the window a bit.
- Denholm Elliott(on Peter Lorre) Peter Lorre was one of the finest and most subtle actors I have ever worked with. Beneath that air of innocence he used to such effect, one sensed a Faustian worldliness. I`d know he was giving a good performance as we put it on film but I wouldn`t know how good until I saw him in the rushes.
