No director wants to be directed, but no good director... would shy away from the good ideas of others.

I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen.

I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.

Ultimately when I throw myself behind a movie, I have to really believe in that director's vision.

There is a director for a reason, because a director knows what's best for the movie. You just give your director as much as you can to work with, and hopefully, the decisions they make are going to be great.

A lot of directors don't know what they want to do. Every director I've seen that was a good director that I've admired knew exactly what he wanted to do. They didn't sit there and think about it.

I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.

As an actor, you've got to have faith in the director's vision, that the director has a vision for this that is greater than the critics say.

The filmmaker's got to make it his story and the actors have got to make it their story.

People think that the directors direct actors. No. Really, what the director's doing is directing the audience's eye through the film.
