The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.

When you work with directors who really love actors, who love their contribution, it feels amazing. But sometimes when you work with directors, you feel like you're in the way.

It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.

The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.

There is a director for a reason, because a director knows what's best for the movie. You just give your director as much as you can to work with, and hopefully, the decisions they make are going to be great.

If a director is really a director, I think he's interested in more than one thing.

There is often a great disparity between a director's personal style and the movies he makes.

With movies, so much of it is, 'Who is the human being that is going to be directing it?' Because it is their medium. In a way, you are serving the director, and when it is someone that you feel you can have a lot of confidence in, it can make a big difference.

After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.

I think what makes a good actor's director is the same thing that makes a good director. Acting is just one of the trades necessary to make a movie.
