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.

I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.

I want to work with great directors. I've picked films based on the script or the character and seen them collapse because the directors were not strong visionaries.

Any good director, and I've worked with a few that I would call very good, they know how to disarm any anxieties very quickly.

I look for the role that excites me and work with whoever that director happens to be, wherever he wants to shoot the film.

What I'm looking for is the variety of choices and the opportunity to work with great directors - that's what I'm looking for.

All the directors that I've had the opportunity to work with are fantastic.

I need to go where people are serious about acting.

I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.

I think acting really helps as a director. It's just no question, because you totally understand the acting process.
