Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you're out of view.

I'm not the kind of director who aims to send a message out.

When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.

I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.

I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.

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 a director, you're a bit of a dictator. But I feel that you're a better director if you're open to other people's ideas. It means that it's tougher: you have to be in a choosing process; you have to put the ego aside. As long as everybody's aiming in the same direction... I'm open to my main partners in the film crew.
