I don't go to a lot of other directors' sets; directors don't come to mine. Directors are all very cordial with each other, but they're not necessarily friendly.

You spend enough time on set as an actor and it's great when a director was at some point an actor or understands acting. They're able to finesse performances out of you that a lot directors can't get.

I've worked with a lot of great directors.

I have worked with some great directors.

I have worked with some very great directors.

I've worked with many directors, good ones and bad ones. So if I have a chance to work the good ones, I better put myself in their hands, and trust them, because that's my big opportunity to be different, and to be better than usual.

Look, a lot of directors were actors, even if they were unsuccessful actors which I think is helpful. I think it's a really helpful thing for a director to have experienced that. It helps you know how to talk to actors and how to get what you need from them.

All the directors that I've had the opportunity to work with are fantastic.

As a director, you never get to watch other directors work, and you also don't get to collaborate with other directors that much.

I have tried to make decisions to work with great directors, with good scripts, and that makes the pickings real slim.
