Gary Oldman based his performance as George Smiley on a line from the novel: "George is like a swift, Ann (Katrina Vasilieva) once told Haydon (Colin Firth) in George's hearing. He lowers his temperature until it's the same as the room around it. Then he doesn't lose heat by adjusting." Director Tomas Alfredson further compared Smiley to a turtle, "because the turtle has so much of its body hidden inside a shell. It is fixed, and it doesn't have a lot of different expressions."
