When you work with directors who really love actors, who love their contribution, it feels amazing. But sometimes when you work with directors, you feel like you're in the way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, I love working with directors. As much as I love working with other actors.
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.
The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.
I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.
When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
On a very small scale, I kind of understand why the directors that I work with do certain things. I don't consider myself an incredible director. I'm not ready to do movies by any means. But, I feel like I can be a better actress now that I've been on the other side and kind of understand the process and more of the technical aspects of it.
The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.
When I'm a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It's somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.
You can be playing a line some way and the director wants you to change that, or you can disagree. But I always think that the creative conversation between director and actor is what leads to good work.
Good directors can bring certain things out of you, with their intensity or gentleness or sensitivity or understanding. They can make an actor feel he can do no wrong.
