Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you're out of view.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.
The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.
I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write.
I think that's the key to being a director: to be able to get the shot and move on quickly.
There is an isolated experience to being a director. It's very communal because there's a crew, but it's only you. You're the one on the hook.
Oddly, in a sense, I still have more confidence as a director than my ability as a writer. Somehow, directing is just really easy. It's just about being really honest about how you feel about what you're seeing.
If a director is really a director, I think he's interested in more than one thing.
When you're a director, you really live whatever you do.
When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
For me, being a director is about watching, not about telling people what to do. Or maybe it's like being a mirror; if they didn't have me to look at, they wouldn't be able to put the make-up on.
