There's a whole system in Hollywood where the director never speaks to the studio, but I like to engage them in a discussion. I listen.

I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.

I guess I like a lot of directors. Or at least I try to.

The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.

For me, it's not like I am going to look at the money the director's film has made before their film... For me, it is about working with the director whose work I have admired.

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.

I love talking about movies that mean something to me.

I really, really love directing films.

I like to be able to understand the feeling of the director, that a film corresponds to something in his life. Otherwise, it doesn't interest me much.
