Quote

I like so many different directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Jarmusch, Gus van Sant, Woody Allen and the greats like Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and among current filmmakers von Trier, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai.

I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.

I really like directors who give you a certain amount of autonomy because I think a lot about my characters and I think a lot about scenes and choices.

I guess I like a lot of directors. Or at least I try to.

I love movie directors. I don't care who it is.

There are all kinds of directors I want to work with and all kinds of films that I want to do.

It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.

I've definitely become more aware and conscious of what directors I'm working with because it's so important. The director is really more than half the battle of the film. You really rely on that. That's become really, really important to me, for sure.

There are lots of good directors I would like to work with; I want to be inspired and challenged by them.

I keep meeting directors that are so irresistible. I only do irresistible films, because I don't need to act to feel myself alive.
