If you cast the picture correctly, you have a whole lot of leeway. You can make mistakes in other aspects but pull it off with the right actors.
From John Frankenheimer
If you don't cast well, you can be in real trouble.
One of the first lessons you learn as an actor is to listen.
One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well.
So I've had really great assistant directors for my last seven movies.
The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie.
