What is the broad appeal of "What Lies Beneath"?
A lot of suspense builds up. Also, the visual language allows the director, Robert Zemeckis, to make a few jolts that we are not expecting. He is using both the story and characters to create suspense. He breaks this up in the cutting room by popping in a surprise.
Do you get scared at movies?
To be honest with you, not much. And, I know this sounds terrible, but I don't go to movies that much. The usual form of scary movie, which depends on regular acts of violence - usually against showering women - is not a form I enjoy. "What Lies Beneath" is scary because it is such a psychological thriller.
And what scares you in life?
I worry a lot, which is my form of being scared. There are things I don't like, like heights, but I never have phobias. What concerns me is that my brain does not relax. I am obsessed by details and have to stop myself from slipping into obsessive behaviour.
What kinds of things worry you?
Whether I have made the right choices of work. I always worry that it is not going to be as good as it should be. But if I screw up, then it's my fault. I also think about the way I live, and the layout of everything from my suits in the wardrobe, to tools in the workshop. It is part of my character, I'm afraid.
