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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of directors are overbearing and tend to make you doubt your instincts.
I follow the director's lead because they generally know more about the big picture, but I also trust that the director will give me enough freedom to play.
I'm a believer in trusting the director.
As an actor, you've got to have faith in the director's vision, that the director has a vision for this that is greater than the critics say.
The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
I always try to stick to the script because I want to respect the writers, and I want to respect the director. But if the director and my fellow actors are okay with me playing with it a little bit, then I definitely want to play with it.
A movie is like a person. Either you trust it or you don't.
I've never read a screenplay in advance. You trust the artist.
At the end of the day, you're handing your performance over. If a director says after a take, 'You know what, try it just really angry. Just get furious'... you're like, 'Well, I don't know if I want to give you that because I don't know if I trust what you're going to do with it.'
Making a film is so scary, and there's such a kind of void that you're working from initially. I mean, you can have all the ideas and be as prepared as possible, but you're also still bringing people together and saying, 'Trust me,' even when you don't necessarily trust every element.
