The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
When you work with directors who really love actors, who love their contribution, it feels amazing. But sometimes when you work with directors, you feel like you're in the way.
You can be playing a line some way and the director wants you to change that, or you can disagree. But I always think that the creative conversation between director and actor is what leads to good work.
It's natural for any actor that segues into directing to be an actor's director. You know how to relate to the actors.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.
Male directors always project their own desire of women - how they want a woman to dress, to do her hair. With a woman director, it's more a projection of herself.
It's a very tricky relationship, the cinematographer and the director as a woman.
Women are just more oriented toward feelings - and I don't mean that in a negative way. But with a male actor and a male director, the emotional exploration can only go so far. With a female director, you can end up exploring so many more depths.
I'm an actor; I'm not a director.
