I like it when actors get an opportunity to chew into something. They love scenes with beginnings, middles, and ends - scenes that give an arc to their characters and allow audiences to get to know these people.

I love talking about movies that mean something to me.

I can talk endlessly about characters, or why someone did this or that, and what that dynamic and interaction is. I really love it, and I think that actors really respond positively to the fact that I like to talk about that stuff, because I'm not sure that all directors do.

I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.

I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

I love this acting stuff.

I really like to hear actors talk about acting, but I don't really like hearing myself talk.

I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.
