There are times when directors just don't know what they're doing.

Bad directors will tell you they absolutely know how to do it, and how it has to happen; there's this insecurity that leads them to feeling like they have to control everything.

Sometimes directors may not give you words, you know? They may not talk at all! You've just got to use your radar to figure out how you can get to the center and not lose yourself, but still be directed at the same time.

Directors have so much else to do besides tell actors what to do. There are so many issues and problems.

The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'

A lot of directors are overbearing and tend to make you doubt your instincts.

I've worked with some incredibly difficult directors but my understanding is that a lot of the best people are driven from a place of being extremely challenging and dark within their way.

I've worked with a lot of directors who really don't have a sense of what the hell they want.

If it were up to the executives, they probably wouldn't have directors at all.

To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
