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

I think some people have a vague idea, but the general public has no clue what the actual behind-the-scenes of filmmaking is and what this profession is.

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.

As a director/writer/producer, all you ever want is to work with actors who make you look better, who make the work you do seem as good as it can be and even better than it is.

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

As an actor, you want a director who makes you feel comfortable in a place that you can really create and try a lot of different things.

In cinema, the leading player is the director.

With movies, so much of it is, 'Who is the human being that is going to be directing it?' Because it is their medium. In a way, you are serving the director, and when it is someone that you feel you can have a lot of confidence in, it can make a big difference.

If it's stage, the two most important artists are the actor and the playwright. If it's film, THE most important person is the director. The director says where the camera goes.

You never really know as an actor; it's completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use.
