My tendency as an actor was to correct people, was to say, 'What if we tried it this way, what about if we tried that way?' That's terrible habit for an actor, but that's a good habit for director. So I became a director.

I remember calling directors numerous times and saying, 'Oh, you should cast so-and-so instead of me. They're much better for the role.'

Bad directors are the ones who want to tell you every move, and think they're a better actor than you.

My favorite parts of work as an actor and a director are those unplanned mistakes that do happen, because it's like catching lightning in a bottle. It's the best part of what we do.

I would be a terrible director, I could never write anything. One of my great strengths is that I know all of my weaknesses.

You work with great directors and terrible directors, and so you learn; you take what you think will work for you.

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.

When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.

I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.

You either are a good director or you're not.
