| “I think Corso is very passionate about books, but he is also a hard-nosed businessman and a great cynic. I think he is probably a failed writer, so he has a great hatred for that thing that he loves in a strange way.” |
| Polanski: ”Johnny has an extraordinary and spontaneous way of giving his own rhythm to a character. It seems quite natural for him and you never feel like he’s making any effort whatsoever. His work was brilliant. The Corso that you see on the screen is exactly the one I had in mind before hiring Johnny.” |
| Polanski: ”Reading, you imagine the characters in the book as physical beings. I realized right away that the character was very close to what Johnny looks like: his smile, his charm and his wickedness combined. It is rare that you find such a good-looking man with his abilities.” |
| Polanski: “With some actors, you have to be very specific and explain every detail to get the performance out of them. With Johnny there is no need to do that – his approach is completely instinctual.” |
