I am not the kind of director who sits in a chair smoking a cigar talking with a microphone to 10 assistants. I need to move. To touch. To put a painting on a wall. To arrange a set.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As the director, you have it in your mind how you want the part done, how you want someone to do it, and so sometimes you just say, 'Why don't I do it myself?' So for a little role, I'll just do it.
As a director, you see something in someone; you know it's there, you just got to go get it. You do that with any actor. That's your job.
I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move!
Actors spend most of their time out of work, so I actually spend more time making furniture. The thing about furniture that's much better than acting is that it's just me. There's no director, no script - the concept is me, unless a client wants something.
I'm a pretty hands-off director. I let people try things, and if it gets over-jokey, then I'll try and rein it in a little bit.
I don't really need a lot of help from a director.
My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.
I don't have a director. The audience directs me.
I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.
I'm the kind of director, at any given moment, an idea occurs to me, I'll just do it.
