Directing talent is very nebulous. You know, it's not in front of you like an actor's performance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't know what directing actors is all about apart from just casting well and then shaping their performances a bit, you know.
I feel like directing is an innate talent.
As far as working with actors, I feel very comfortable working in that aspect of directing.
You spend enough time on set as an actor and it's great when a director was at some point an actor or understands acting. They're able to finesse performances out of you that a lot directors can't get.
I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.
Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.
I guess once you've been acting for a long time, you glean the great bits of good directors and the bad bits from other directors, and you know the way that you would like to be directed.
Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.
Directing remains very psychological, and it takes a lot of time and reflection. When you're an actor, it takes less time, and you can express yourself physically.
There's no lack of talent out there. I suspect there is a lack of creative guidance, and that would not be solely the responsibility of a director but also a producer.
