Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.

The great thing about films is that you have access to this whole world of experts who teach you the skills your character's supposed to have.

As a professional, it pains me to watch a movie that is botched and amateurish. I prefer directors who have control of both their craft and their ideas.

In film work, you do the best you can under the given circumstances, but you don't have control. At least, I don't.

With Kubrick and most film directors, they are in complete control, but one can influence them.

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.

The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.

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.

The filmmakers always have a great level of control.

I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.
