I still think that movies are amazing; I respect actors and directors.

After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.

I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.

The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.

I have great respect for directors who know what they're doing.

I have a lot of respect for, always dig, the crew. Sometimes a lot more than the cast. But a good run production team is paramount to making a good film. You just can't it done without a good line producer, without creative producers, without people who are making stuff happen.

On my set, people have to respect the actor's process. I totally respect what actors do. I give them whatever time they need, and I never scream out directions from the camera. I take the time to walk up to them and talk to them personally.

The film industry is a lovely family and I respect it.
