When a director you admire says that he wants to work with you, it's always a compliment, very good for your ego.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you work with directors who really love actors, who love their contribution, it feels amazing. But sometimes when you work with directors, you feel like you're in the way.
It's an important thing to have a relationship with the director, and have it be a positive one.
If you're a director, your entire livelihood and your entire creativity is based on your self-confidence. Sometimes that's dangerously close to arrogance.
If a director is really a director, I think he's interested in more than one thing.
When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.
To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work.
Good, bad mediocre or whatever it is, if a director wants me in his movie, I take it as a compliment.
That's the fun part about being a director. You get to say, 'Oh, now that I'm in charge, I can try and cast whoever I want.' They can always say no, but that's okay.
There is a wonderful feeling of power when you're a director, but I don't think I need that, and I'm OK without it.
When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
