Text Quotes
As a painter you’re responsible yourself, 100 percent. In film, you have the editor, the director, the other actors. It has the advantage of not being solitary. (Director Quotes)
The most important thing for a director is being able to communicate. When you communicate comfortably, regardless of what you’re saying, it can always be processed. (Director Quotes)
If you want to keep on being relevant as a director, I think you have to embrace the times. And with the times come technologies and formats. (Director Quotes)
I’m a film rat. I love being in front of a camera. I love being behind a camera. I love talking to the director. I love talking film. (Director Quotes)
In a weird way, it’s much easier, when I don’t have to worry about being a writer, to just worry about the director job, which is really fun. (Director Quotes)
Being an actor is great; you chill in your trailer, and they bring you a breakfast burrito and coffee. But as director, you’re responsible for every little thing. (Director Quotes)
The good part of working in TV is it’s like being a studio director in old Hollywood and approaching different genres. It’s a chance to try out different styles. (Director Quotes)
As a director, I’m not the one animating every frame, every shot. I’m moving around like a surgeon on rounds, or a farmer checking in on all the plants being grown, pruning and adjusting. For me, it’s a very exciting job. (Director Quotes)
And I think being a good director is being able to be completely tyrannical and you’ve got to be an absolute dictator while at the same time, you have to listen and see everything because it can all change on a dime. (Director Quotes)
I don’t care about names attached to the script. That doesn’t matter to me. All things being equal, I would like to work with a good script with a good director, and the part I play is of less important than those two factors. (Director Quotes)
When I can see things through the lens of the director, it’s like being able to see the whole puzzle - it’s not just about my role, but the whole script. (Director Quotes)
When asked if I miss being in government, I usually try to lighten the moment by responding that I awake most days, read the paper, and then observe that, ‘It’s yet another great day to be the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.’ (Director Quotes)
The director calmed me down and told me I was being too hard on myself. He went on to say that I wasn’t quite as bad as I thought, but needed to tone things down a bit. (Director Quotes)
Kelly Preston is a remarkable human being and a great dramatic actress. It was a privilege as a director to tap into this part of her. Rarely do I make a kind of spiritual connection with my cast. Kelly was a wonderful exception. She is truly very special and I adore her. (Director Quotes)
With ‘Moreau,’ it’s been particularly confusing because I started out being the writer of the screenplay and then trying to be the director, then being moved from being the director and having to become the dog extra, it makes some kind of sense to suddenly become a character in the story. (Director Quotes)
I’ve been shocked by film actors - 25 and under - having such confidence and cockiness to rewrite a scene. My background is more about the director being in control. It’s all about yielding. It’s an oddly submissive relationship in which you’re moulded, Pygmalion-style. (Director Quotes)
Being a director, whether you’re in rehearsal or you’re in auditions or you’re in a creative meeting, is so much to me about being present in the moment. There’s a sense of time stopping. (Director Quotes)
Sometimes I get insecure about being a real director because I look at the great directors, and they have such command. But maybe that keeps me critical of myself. Maybe it keeps me moving forward. (Director Quotes)
I don’t really have a drive toward being a director at all. Not that I wouldn’t rule it out, but I just don’t think my instincts lie necessarily in a very visual way. But I am very interested in storytelling, narrative and character development, so writing is something that I absolutely want to do. (Director Quotes)
I started working with James [Schamus] early on, and my role as an executive producer was more about being involved in the conversations of putting the film together. I didn’t have to do much work because James is the most experienced first-time director you could imagine. (Director Quotes)
I’d worked in Clockwork Orange with Stanley Kubrick and since Stanley was such a prestigious director this opened all sorts of doors for me - one of them being Star Wars. (Director Quotes)
I still get called ‘a stick of dynamite’ or ‘pint-sized dynamo,’ stuff like that. Actually, I was too busy to notice there was anything unusual about being a woman director until the early 1980s, when I looked around the professional theater and realized there weren’t many of us. You have to make more of a case for yourself than any man. (Director Quotes)
Being an actor really, really strengthens me as a director. There’s just a certain type of understanding that comes from having been there and knowing how much is really being asked of actors that helps me. (Director Quotes)
It never occurred to me to be a film director, partly because I hadn’t seen a single film by a female director, but I liked the idea of being a writer moving to Hollywood and being unhappy; that sounded romantic and fabulous to me. (Director Quotes)
You have to get it in your brain that you don’t belong to yourself as an actor, but that you belong to the director who creates the character. (Director Quotes)
I would like Albert Brooks to have received the Oscars for best actor, best director and best screenplay for ‘Modern Romance.’ I love that movie. (Director Quotes)
I actually love Scorsese comedies. He’s an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made. (Director Quotes)
I’ve learned from every director I’ve worked with. Everybody’s style is very different, and I always say that being an actor is the best film school that I could ever go to. (Director Quotes)
Some of the screen’s best moments were realized because a director went against all reason, all logic. No matter how incredible a story seems, it can be made credible. If you feel an insane idea strongly enough, you’ve usually got something. (Director Quotes)
Movie-making is serious business. The director and the crew are already under a lot of pressure to give their best to the audience. Therefore, the best part for me as an actor is to act well in the movies and make a jolly atmosphere with the co-stars on the sets. (Director Quotes)
