My approach to working in movies is to empower the director to have power over me and to really support his vision because he's the guy, at the end of the day, who's going to put it all together.

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.

When you direct a movie, you're basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director's vision, and I'm totally open for that.

When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.

I'm a believer in trusting the director.

When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.

I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.

I love directing scenes that I'm not in because suddenly I really feel like a filmmaker which is a different thing.

I always believe that one can't interfere in another's work. Once I start work on any film, I surrender myself completely and blindly follow the director.

I look for the role that excites me and work with whoever that director happens to be, wherever he wants to shoot the film.
