A lot of times, directors don't know how to speak to actors, or writers don't know how to communicate.

In the acting game, you spend a long time fighting against what the director perceives you to be. And half the time the directors don't know.

I've worked with a lot of directors who really don't have a sense of what the hell they want.

There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.

A lot of directors are overbearing and tend to make you doubt your instincts.

Directors have so much else to do besides tell actors what to do. There are so many issues and problems.

Bad directors will tell you they absolutely know how to do it, and how it has to happen; there's this insecurity that leads them to feeling like they have to control everything.

Being on a set where the director has lost control is just sickening. No one goes the extra mile, there's a lot of eye-rolling... it just breeds inertia. If a director is in control, the crew follow their leader. But the second anyone senses the directors are not sure, people just swoop in.

Gotta watch out for directors.
