I never feel like a smug or a smart-alec film director, and there are plenty of those around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.
There's something uniquely aggravating about the smugness of liberal Hollywood.
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.
There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.
You can be a smarty-pants director, but that won't matter if the movie doesn't work emotionally as well as intellectually.
I can say with pride verging on smugness that I've got two very successful shows that assume their audience is very smart.
It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.
I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.
