Working with a great director is like getting a master class in acting.

I don't believe that all actors should end up being directors.

I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.

I think acting really helps as a director. It's just no question, because you totally understand the acting process.

I always treat all the jobs I do as an acting class.

A director should cast a person who fits into their script.

Actors should never be important. Only directors should have power and place.

As a director, you have to know what actors are doing. You're the one telling them what to do. The actors' job is to come prepared to the set, but sometimes, if they're beginning actors or people who are non-actors, you have to teach them how to act.

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.

As a director, you see something in someone; you know it's there, you just got to go get it. You do that with any actor. That's your job.
