Amazing William Hurt interview from The Arts Desk:
There are some wonderful insights about acting, about Hollywood -- and the best (NSFW) description of an Oscar statue you've ever read.How did you get on with Franco Zeffirelli, director of Jane Eyre?
Well, he p*ssed me off at first, I have to tell you. But we got along after a while OK. He called me to thank him for helping him make a good movie. I haven’t seen him since. But we got along OK after a while after he stopped meddling. It was the English who knew how to make Jane Eyre, not him. When he came in he was a little anxious at first but mostly it’s best to choose good people and let them make the movie. Well, he had great people.
