I think that in order to be a film director, one has to be a warrior who shouldn't be defeated by the daily onslaught of problems.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The profession of film director can and should be such a high and precious one; that no man aspiring to it can disregard any knowledge that will make him a better film director or human being.
A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.
As an actor, you want a director who makes you feel comfortable in a place that you can really create and try a lot of different things.
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
Whatever it takes, the job of the director is to be the leader and to get your actors where they need to go. That's a philosophy that I have.
I'm better suited to be a director, I think. I see myself as the general author. I hate the word 'auteur,' because it sounds so solitary when filmmaking is anything but solitary.
I have to say that whatever decisions I make, I really do think that movie making is a director's medium. They are the people that ultimately shape the film, and a director can take great material and turn it into garbage if they are not capable of making a good movie.
Director of any film is very important, and an actor has to leave himself in his hands to mould.
And later I thought, I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.
A film actor is just a victim of directors and editors.
