I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.

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

A film is a director's vision... there is, however, much input an actor or actress can have.

It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves.

I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.

I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.

When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.

The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.

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.
