If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.

I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.

It's really hard as a screenwriter, you feel like you have a vision and then you turn it over to a director and you have to let it go.

If the script is good, the cast and director good, I'll go anywhere.

I have tried to make decisions to work with great directors, with good scripts, and that makes the pickings real slim.

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.

My job, as an actor, is to give the director options. You can only hope that the takes that you thought were the best were chosen. But, then again, if I don't watch it, I'll never know.

Directing a film requires a different set of skills. It is a difficult job, and I am happy being an actor.

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.

The director is the only person on the set who has seen the film. Your job as a director is to show up every day and know where everything will fit into the film.
