Having been a child actor, I remember how directors would trick me to get good performances out of me. I don't think you need to do that.

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.

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

It's quite a dangerous career move to go wilfully on making films that may not find a distributor.

You can't always expect to work with a director who guarantees success.

Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies, but as a life.

I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.

You have to be talentedly insecure in order to be a good actress. And then it's the director's job to make you more miserable and get a good take.

As a director, if you know what you want, then it's not scary.

I think when you have some success as a kid, your notion of being a good actor is pleasing the director, doing exactly what they tell you to do.
