There are times when directors just don't know what they're doing.

I just trust the director and never overanalyse the script, screenplay, etc. You are just taking a bet at the end of the day, so confidence, be it on the filmmaker or the script, is all that counts.

The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.

Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.

All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It's a funny breed, directors.

Bad directors will tell you they absolutely know how to do it, and how it has to happen; there's this insecurity that leads them to feeling like they have to control everything.

Bad directors are the ones who want to tell you every move, and think they're a better actor than you.

I've worked with a lot of directors who really don't have a sense of what the hell they want.

There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.
