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.

The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.

Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn't just a director. He's potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have.

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

It's always great when a director is just supportive of what you're doing. They're not so much critiquing you but giving you more ideas, giving you tons of things to work with, making you question your character and making you think about it... and making it seem like everything is limitless. That usually helps a lot.

The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.

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

The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.

To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work.

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