I'm not a solid enough actor to have techniques.

As an actor, I have tried to do new things, and that's why I have done few films.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.

I don't have actor training myself.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.

You know, I've never been much of a method actor. I feel like, with every project I go in extremely prepared and I like to have a good time.

The best way to learn how to work with actors is to have had experience of trying to act yourself - it will teach you humility if nothing else.

Every time I do one I feel like I've never really quite learned anything. I always find that when I'm making a film, I find it a little bit like I'm doing it for the first time.

I learn a lot as a director from acting in other people's films and just in general.
