Q. Why the international cast of Angels and Demons?
(Tom Hanks – American, Ewan McGregor – Scottish, Ayelet Zurer – Israeli, Stella Skarsgard – Swedish, Pierfrancesco Favino – Italian)

A. It was deliberate. Ron (Howard) wanted it. He wants some international sense in the film. As for me, I find it fun. There are many languages during discussions on the set. It was never boring.

Q. How’s working with Tom Hanks?
A. It was fantastic. He’s funny, smart, a good friend, and a great actor. He’s brilliant, never boring on and off the camera. He knows a lot about almost every subject. We even exchange books.

Q. You have been directed by two great movie makers, Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg. How do you feel?

A. I feel so much pleasure working with them. These great directors are very talented and smart. They never stop being curious and never get tired. But they are highly moral and they both treat people well. I am very lucky.
