The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie.

I will argue my points; I will have my opinions. But at the end of the day, it's the director's choice.

I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important.

I've definitely become more aware and conscious of what directors I'm working with because it's so important. The director is really more than half the battle of the film. You really rely on that. That's become really, really important to me, for sure.

I follow the director's lead because they generally know more about the big picture, but I also trust that the director will give me enough freedom to play.

There's nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.

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

I don't run after successful directors. I give importance to the content of the film.
