An actor is only a part of the film, not the whole, and very often, he is moulded by the director. That is why a good director can make so much difference to a film.

Director of any film is very important, and an actor has to leave himself in his hands to mould.

In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

When a subject pops into a director's head, you either fit in there somewhere, or you don't. An actor is only who he is. Especially as you get older, there's not as much of a range of potentially feasible parts.

One of the best things about directing movies, as opposed to merely writing them, is that there's no confusion about who's to blame: you are.

There are plenty of bad actors and there are plenty of bad directors. There are actors who will always be bad and there are good actors who you cry for because they're being badly directed or the material isn't good enough.

Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.

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

A lot of actors aren't particularly good directors. And they're not particularly good with other actors. That's kind of a fallacy.
