I had some things I had to fix. It took me 14 years to do it. But it was never really fun back in the day to work with directors who were a lot older and were like authoritarian and talking to you like that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you were in the film industry at that time, you were always picked up by directors who were much older. You were whisked about and shown things. I did work very hard though.
I didn't plan to be a director until I was 35. For years I wanted to do anything but!
I worked for a lot of directors.
That's why I never became a director. I never had patience with people.
I kind of romanticized what it was like to be a writer and director when I was in my early twenties. Working as a production assistant knocked that right out of me.
I've worked with more than 50 directors ,and I've paid attention since day one. That's pretty much been my education, apart from studying art history and shooting with my own cameras. I've seen 50 different sets of mistakes and 50 different ways of achieving. You just leave the bad part out.
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
As a director, I really wanted to learn and I needed to get away from my own stuff to figure out how to just do things and work with good people.
I basically put myself into directors' hands and let them tell me what to do, and the more they told me what to do, the more I liked it.
I worked with young directors all my life, only young directors.
