Any great director is also someone who is incredibly intelligent about whom they hire around them.

Sometimes a great director will do a bad job and an okay director will do a great job. You never know.

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.

So yeah, a good director will be able to listen and hear everything, but have a confident vision of his own that he can say, 'oh yeah - that's a great point.' And you never know; often you can help far more than you think you can, because there's so much more that he's juggling than an actor.

A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.

I think a good director is a good listener.

Working with a great director is like getting a master class in acting.

Good is the director who lets you do what you have to do.

When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
