Most actors are pretty adaptable because we work with so many directors.

As an actor, you want a director who makes you feel comfortable in a place that you can really create and try a lot of different things.

An actor is only a part of the film, not the whole, and very often, he is moulded by the director. That is why a good director can make so much difference to a film.

I would say that maybe directors who act as well are easier with actors. I'm not saying that all directors have this, but sometimes you'll come across a director who sort of looks at an actor a bit like a kind of untrained horse that's been let out of the stable, like they might buck him.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

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.

I think any actor hopes to have variety and range in what they do. Everybody has a certain range, so you take on roles to expand that the best you can... See things a little differently and whatnot.

Part of an actor's job, in my opinion, is adjust to the characteristics of the director and try to understand to how he tries to work.

The best thing an actor can be is ready. Be flexible, be ready.

Matching character and actor is what a good director does.
