Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice.

I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.

No director wants to be directed, but no good director... would shy away from the good ideas of others.

I do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own.

My job, as an actor, is to give the director options. You can only hope that the takes that you thought were the best were chosen. But, then again, if I don't watch it, I'll never know.

There is a director for a reason, because a director knows what's best for the movie. You just give your director as much as you can to work with, and hopefully, the decisions they make are going to be great.

As an actor, you've got to have faith in the director's vision, that the director has a vision for this that is greater than the critics say.

I have to say that whatever decisions I make, I really do think that movie making is a director's medium. They are the people that ultimately shape the film, and a director can take great material and turn it into garbage if they are not capable of making a good movie.

To me, the director is the most important, rather than the story.
