It's kind of interesting to be a director who is all of a sudden being an actor playing an agent. This is my whole world!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I first started acting in movies - as probably a lot of naive young actors do - I made a list of directors that I wanted to work with and sent it to my agent at the time.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
As an actor, I love working with directors. As much as I love working with other actors.
I'm an actor's director.
As an actor, you want a director who makes you feel comfortable in a place that you can really create and try a lot of different things.
I learned so much about being an actor by being a director. More than I ever thought I would.
Unfortunately, I ended up kind of getting sadly duped, in a way. I haven't had an agent in 10 years, and now I'm doing some of the most interesting films I've ever had an opportunity to play in.
I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.
It's funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs, I let people come to me.
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
