"Anthony's voice, the way he says any line of dialogue from Hannibal Lecter, it sends chills to everyone."

"Underneath that icy blue gaze - you can see the flames."

"What I worry about is, are they fun to work with, are they nice, are they funny, are they easy to get along with. Tony was all of the above. This was the only time that I've ever been on a film where I've stepped outside myself and been aware that I'm actually directing someone of that calibre."

"Tony was, and is, a wonderful man who lives everyday with the burden of genius."

"Tony just completely fills a mansion, he really does! I've never seen energy like it - he's so dynamic. He's honestly the rawest talent that I've ever been around, even when he thinks he is screwing up you just wish you had that as your scene. He's an incredible presence and he works really hard."

"The fact that Tony hasn't got an ego is the sexiest thing in the world."

"Working with Tony was a great experience, it's like having magic in your hands."

"I have huge respect for Tony, truly one of our greatest Actors. He's a heavyweight, he's Holyfield, I have years before I understand where this man is coming from."

"I would pay to work with Tony, he is the ultimate package. And forget the voice, the eyes."

"Nobody delivers a line better than Tony."
