Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.

All the directors that I've had the opportunity to work with are fantastic.

I love so many directors. I love David O. Russell. I love David Fincher, I love Alexander Payne and Jane Campion and my aunt. Spike Jonze. There are just so many amazing directors.

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.

David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He's incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing.

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.

David Boreanaz is actually a very good director and he directed one of our episodes. Excellent director, knew exactly what he wanted. We never had long days with David. He was great, he knew exactly what he wanted and he's a fantastic director.

A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.
