John Huston is more of a creative director than most.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.
John Huston was a superb master. He knew how to make good films. I did three things with him. One is called Independence. It plays in Philadelphia, for free. It's been playing there for 25 years.
It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.
As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress.
When a director is also a writer, everyone on the production looks to him, knowing he gave birth to the idea. There's a different level of viability.
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.
There's nobody who loves being around actors working more than David Mamet, especially actors bringing his tremendous dialogue to life. I've never seen a movie director who was happier to be directing a movie than Dave.
I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.
As a director, you try to find what is creative.
Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.
