My husband's a director, so he understands what I do.

Actors and directors work on things together. That's how I like to work, anyway. I don't want to be told what to do. I want to share it with someone and work it out together.

The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.

When a relationship with a director is really working, you have the same idea at the same time. You go, 'Look, this isn't working,' and they'll go, 'I know it's not working. What are we gonna do?' And you go and try something else.

I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.

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

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

Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn't just a director. He's potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have.

It's an important thing to have a relationship with the director, and have it be a positive one.

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.
