I think, at the end of the day, filmmaking is a team, but eventually there's got to be a captain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.
The thing I really love about film is there's a really big sense of teamwork, and everyone has to do their job to the best of their ability to make the film work in the first place.
Filmmaking is the ultimate team sport.
A big part of filmmaking is gathering a group of people you can work with.
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 think it reaffirmed something that I believed in and conceptually always had faith in which was that you're most effective when you work as a team. I love that about filmmaking. I stopped playing team sports at 15-16 because of acting. I think I find a kind of new team sport in filmmaking in a way.
I think that in order to be a film director, one has to be a warrior who shouldn't be defeated by the daily onslaught of problems.
Usually in features, I'm the lead. I consider the director the captain, but I consider myself the first mate, and it's up to me to keep in contact with the heart of the crew.
As an actor... at some point you've got to forget that the crew's there in order to do your job.
I think it would be amazing to be a character actor and still be a lead now and then in movies.
