I come from a theatrical background, where, if you're working on a movie or a play, you always respect the people you work with. You're accommodating.

I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.

I'll work with a director if I think I'm going to get into a comfortable situation, and if it's someone I respect and who respects me, even if they're not so well known. Movies are hard to make, and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best.

I think people respect my work, but I was never in one of those movies that made me a star.

After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.

In fact, 95% of the people in my films have been nothing less than a pleasure to work with.

I'm not one of those actors where filmmakers that I admire ask me to be in their movies. I meet them at parties and they're nice to me, but they never ask me to work with them.

But I have had the luxury of working on good films with great people.

I enjoy working in movies that appeal to and will be seen by many people.

I had the privilege of working with so many great actors over the years.
