I've worked with very few directors who've asked of me what I asked of myself.

If it were up to the executives, they probably wouldn't have directors at all.

Sometimes directors may not give you words, you know? They may not talk at all! You've just got to use your radar to figure out how you can get to the center and not lose yourself, but still be directed at the same time.

I have no idea what makes a director believe in me that I can sell these kind of roles.

I worked for a lot of directors.

I'm actually very snobbish about directors. I have to say 'no' all the time. 'No' is the most powerful word in our business. You've got to protect yourself.

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

Whatever it takes, the job of the director is to be the leader and to get your actors where they need to go. That's a philosophy that I have.

I like to just work with great directors.
