I'm a believer in trusting the director.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, you've got to have faith in the director's vision, that the director has a vision for this that is greater than the critics say.
Ultimately when I throw myself behind a movie, I have to really believe in that director's vision.
I just trust the director and never overanalyse the script, screenplay, etc. You are just taking a bet at the end of the day, so confidence, be it on the filmmaker or the script, is all that counts.
I follow the director's lead because they generally know more about the big picture, but I also trust that the director will give me enough freedom to play.
It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.
When I cast someone in a movie, I have to absolutely trust who they are as a human being. Trust is the intangible of moviemaking.
A lot of directors are overbearing and tend to make you doubt your instincts.
The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.
Trust the acting.
