In their words

  1. “When you're adapting a film from a book which is 600 pages long, it becomes a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, rearranging a jigsaw puzzle to make it work as a movie as opposed to as a book. And there are various, not so much problems, but writing problems and structural problems as to what we would do with various parts of the movie.” [0:16] Hannibal (2001)
  2. “Action sequences are relatively straightforward and are a kind of cheap solution to occupy the attention of an audience. I think the scenes which are character scenes, which essentially at the end of the day are the most important scenes, are the things that actually are the hardest to do” [40:04] Hannibal (2001)
  3. “By now, I was feeling very insecure... ... about the fact I'm heading to the most difficult scene in the film... ... which, by definition of the way it plays, is static. But I had to trust to the outrageous target at the end of it all.” [1:52:12] Hannibal (2001)
