Casting is very, very important.

To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.

Casting is everything. If you get the right people they make you look good.

I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.

Sometimes it's all about the casting.

I've come to this conclusion: What makes a great actor is great need. A huge need of acting.

Casting is storytelling.

I don't know what directing actors is all about apart from just casting well and then shaping their performances a bit, you know.

I love casting against type and doing things you wouldn't expect, because I think you get more interesting performances that way. Hollywood loves to pigeonhole people, and there's nothing an actor loves more than to do something different.
