A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.
All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It's a funny breed, directors.
A lot of times, directors don't know how to speak to actors, or writers don't know how to communicate.
There's a lot of young actors and people who have success very quickly who kind of expect it or don't have the experience to really appreciate it.
A lot of young actors will do a scene and then run off and look at themselves. I don't believe in that at all.
There are times when directors just don't know what they're doing.
A lot of directors are overbearing and tend to make you doubt your instincts.
I can tell you that from the director's chair, young actors love to be challenged, to be given killer lines that take time to wrap their mind around.
A lot of actors aren't particularly good directors. And they're not particularly good with other actors. That's kind of a fallacy.
