As a director, I never feel that I have the answers.

I'm constantly thinking about the role, and there's an infinite amount of questions you can ask yourself about a character to the point that it's hard to find the boundaries of when to not work.

You either are a good director or you're not.

It's very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.

Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you're out of view.

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.

As a director, you never think about how an audience would respond. You can think about that, but you will never change what you're going to do.

I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

Good directors don't answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.

I've worked with very few directors who've asked of me what I asked of myself.
