Text Quotes
There’s no way a director can communicate with every single person on the set and yet they need to motivate and instill an ambition to want to do their best work. (Director Quotes)
Remember the great film with Bette Davis, All About Eve? There’s a scene after the scheming Eve steals Margo’s role through trickery and then gets this magnificent review. Margo of course is effing and blinding all over the place. And crying. Her director rushes into her house, puts his arms around her and says, I ran all the way. That’s what I want. (Director Quotes)
I think I’m a better director than I ever was an actor. I’d love to go back to acting, but nobody seems to want me. (Director Quotes)
Also, I plan to screw something up on every movie I do so that I can learn from my mistakes and become a better director with each project. (Director Quotes)
Most of the films I myself like don’t do very well. Every director, he has a choice, whether to go for subtlety and try to articulate every minute detail, or to go for the broad strokes and hope that the people will fill in between the lines. I tend to go for the broader strokes. (Director Quotes)
I’ve worked with Len Wiseman before, on the ‘Underworld’ series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he’s tremendous, as a man and as a director. (Director Quotes)
Carrie’ was a pretty big-budget movie at a real studio, with a director that had already done a bunch of things and had some notoriety, and Stephen King was the writer. (Director Quotes)
Any director will tell you, no matter how big his budget, that it’s always the budget and the day count. (Director Quotes)
The lead actor, along with the director, plays a big role in what the vibe will be on set, and that’s a huge responsibility. (Director Quotes)
Ultimately, making movies, if you don’t have a big star, it’s hard to do. Or if it’s not a star director. (Director Quotes)
I think it’s possible to be free in a big production. It’s the eye of the director and the actor and the story... (Director Quotes)
I’ll admit, sometimes I’ve paid the bills with acting. You know the phrase, ‘It’s one for the money, two for the showreel.’ I don’t want that as a director. I don’t want to compromise myself. There’s a big old wide world out there. I want to explore it. (Director Quotes)
As an actor, most of the time, you only have so much say in how, what and where things go. As a director, you really get to paint a bigger picture. You have many more brushes to use. (Director Quotes)
I read that Hollywood wanted to film Fences years ago with a white director, but [August] Wilson refused. He thought that the director needed to have lived the culture of black Americans. (Director Quotes)
Black Swan’ does what Hollywood movies have always done - it spends its energies on getting some surface things right while getting everything important wrong. Darren Aronofsky, the director, applies the same techniques and the same sensibility here as he did with ‘The Wrestler,’ only with a prettier protagonist. (Director Quotes)
Director and producers have to take all the risks they can. We developed this film with the possibility to create departing from a blank page and to discover things as the process went along and as we understood the things that at first we couldn’t understand in words. (Director Quotes)
I used to do a Saturday drama group called Young Blood Theatre Company with school-friends in west London - nothing to do with my mum and dad. A casting director came to pick people out for a new BBC children’s series called ‘MI High.’ She picked me, I auditioned, and I got the job. (Director Quotes)
When I say ‘yes’ to a movie it’s usually because, to a greater or lesser extent, it’s because I’m enthusiastic about the character. How well that character ultimately comes off depends on a lot of things: your relationship with the director and so on. But at first, you’re on board because you think you can do something with it. (Director Quotes)
For me, the most exciting thing is that Jane Campion is a woman we can all really look up to. She doesn’t have the body of work that some other directors do - no woman director does - but her work is so consistently original, wonderful, masterful. (Director Quotes)
The director is planning on titling the film ‘Yummy Fur’ so we are probably planning on changing the title of the book to ‘Yummy Fur’ to match the film. (Director Quotes)
To learn bad dialogue is so difficult and so boring, and to work with a stupid director who tells you to do the wrong thing, etcetera, it’s just unbearable. (Director Quotes)
I did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna - the one you saw - we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out. (Director Quotes)
Brad Pitt is great fun. He jokes around all the time and has a real quality about him. On set the director called me over and said, ‘Jase, just watch him. Watch him move.’ Instead of walking, Brad literally glides. It’s incredible. (Director Quotes)
Of course I’m schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart. (Director Quotes)
From a writing point of view, you now have teams of screenwriters working with a director. What’s lost in the process is the power of that one heart, brain, gut and soul that makes something an original piece of writing. (Director Quotes)
If someone suddenly lost their director the day before shooting and wanted me to step in, I’d be willing to. But I’d do brain surgery the same way. I’m always up for something new. (Director Quotes)
My first movie ever was ‘Breaking Away.’ I stumbled into an incredible part in a movie that was incredible to be a part of. Peter Yates, the director, became a lifelong friend. He sort of plucked me from obscurity and gave me a life. (Director Quotes)
I remember breaking the news to both my parents that I wanted to be a director, and they both looked very doubtful. They didn’t know what a closet Hindi film buff I was. I used to dance to old Hindi films songs on the sly, so my decision to be a part of Hindi cinema was shocking even for my parents. (Director Quotes)
I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house. (Director Quotes)
If you put someone in a room with no script to direct, they’re just going to sit there. Writing scripts is the execution for a show. Then the director takes that and hires people. It’s like trying to build a house without any bricks. You need the script. I could build the house, but I have to know how. (Director Quotes)
