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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actor, you're always nervous as to what a director will do with something.
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.
An actor really suffers when the director isn't prepared because you start running out of time for the shoot and then have to do it fast.
As an actor, you have to give up all control to the director. He's the boss, and has all the power. I'm a control freak, so that's really hard for me.

Then when you see a film later, it can be infuriating, really disappointing. I've been very lucky, though, and so many of my early experiences were great.
I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.
Part of an actor's job, in my opinion, is adjust to the characteristics of the director and try to understand to how he tries to work.
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.
The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.
I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.
