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

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.

Whatever it takes, the job of the director is to be the leader and to get your actors where they need to go. That's a philosophy that I have.

As a director, you have to know what actors are doing. You're the one telling them what to do. The actors' job is to come prepared to the set, but sometimes, if they're beginning actors or people who are non-actors, you have to teach them how to act.

As an actor, you're always nervous as to what a director will do with something.

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.

Being an actor is great; you chill in your trailer, and they bring you a breakfast burrito and coffee. But as director, you're responsible for every little thing.

I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a 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.

As a director, it is important to understand the actor's process.
