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.

As an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.

First, speaking for myself, I don't want to ever be in a position where I'm telling other directors how to make movies, because I don't think it's any of my business.

I view the whole thing as a collaboration. As an actor, I always found that to be the most freeing thing, when the director would collaborate with you, so that together you'd come up with something exponentially better.

I'm used to working with the director and producer, and that's my relationship. It's very simple.

As far as working with actors, I feel very comfortable working in that aspect of directing.

As an actor, I love working with directors. As much as I love working with other actors.

The majority of directors I've worked with didn't know how to talk to actors.

Working with actors really depends on the actor. Most of the directors I've worked with don't really know how to speak to actors, actually; some of the best directors don't.

Some actors don't want to, but I prefer to. I like to collaborate. Sometimes you have to keep it to yourself, and people want to do their own thing.
