I love the Kathryn Bigelow example: she didn't just do war movies - she did them better than other directors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress.
Many times I felt like I'd do better than what the director did, but some of them got a little discouraged because they didn't have full charge of making the film, and sometimes there'd be battles of egos.
A lot of directors don't want the pressure of a movie the size of Pearl Harbor. But I love it. I thrive on it.
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've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie.
I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.
There's a lot of other movies I like, but I don't even pay attention to directors to tell you the truth.
It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.
Susanne Bier's work I've always really enjoyed. She's just such a great filmmaker; she's very cool and very sexy - that always helps, too.
'The War' is a stunning achievement in filmmaking.
