Text Quotes
As a producer and director, I’ve tried for years to get properties off the ground for girls, and I’ve been hitting a brick wall. (Director Quotes)
Viceroy’ is the first British film about the Raj and the transfer of power from Britain to India made by a British Indian director. It is a British film made from an Indian perspective. (Director Quotes)
My dad was a low budget film director. I grew up as a kid making movies, based on the love of seeing what my dad was doing. (Director Quotes)
With the work that I do as a director, I’ve got dialogue, camera movement, and character blocking to help create a tone to the piece. In photography, those elements are somewhat void so that tone becomes a bit more subtle but still equally important. (Director Quotes)
It’s the first film that I made where the director was not present under the camera, and it threw me. (Director Quotes)
I’ve always had the utmost respect and awe of what the lens can do and what a director can do with just a camera move. (Director Quotes)
I graduated from the University of Oklahoma, and I got the opportunity to take some on-camera classes while I was in school and met a casting director who informed me quite a bit before my move out to L.A.; it made L.A. feel possible, coming from Oklahoma and not having a family that was in the industry. (Director Quotes)
In a way, as an actor, you do all the preparation and then you want to forget it and just play the scene. As a director, you can’t forget it because somebody will remind you that you forgot something. But you can know your plan well enough that you still have a certain amount of freedom. (Director Quotes)
Every director works differently but one thing’s important: they must have a vision. If they don’t have a vision I don’t care how they work. (Director Quotes)
First of all the criteria that I have that goes into any career decision is whether or not I have the life experience, emotional resources to play the part truthfully or the imagination. Second, would be the director. (Director Quotes)
When I was director of the CIA, I knew that we had been - and I’m choosing my words very carefully here - effective in our expansion. We really had - expansion of government agencies and expansion of use of contractors. Effective, we were; efficient, we weren’t. And so, as director of the CIA, I went after the inefficiencies part. (Director Quotes)
Casting directors I don’t think are the best in Mexico at street casting. Whereas, I think, in New York and in L.A., that’s more common; not so in Mexico. So it’s up to you as a director in a lot of ways to go out and do that. (Director Quotes)
I just think there are a lot of celebrities who don’t feel that they have a voice. A lot of actors come from a place of fear, and that’s just a general statement about actors. You’re terrified the casting director won’t like you, you’re terrified the producer won’t like you, you’re terrified the director won’t like you, and on and on. (Director Quotes)
I was the first person in the world to audition for ‘The Hobbit’. The casting director told me that when I went in. That’s a lot of pressure, isn’t it? The first person in the world. (Director Quotes)
Earlier in my career, I needed to be the writer, casting director, set designer, leading man, and producer. I’ve been eliminating a lot of those jobs. I’m an executive producer right now. I still get to pick the best screenplays. (Director Quotes)
You read a script, you try and think through what is the best, most wide-ranging way of telling the story: who stylistically, character-logically, psychologically fits inside the world of what you’re trying to do. A lot of it, when you’re casting, is trying to get yourself in the head of a director. (Director Quotes)
A lot of the stuff that’s happening now, I can trace back to ‘Death of a Salesman.’ Francine Maisler, the casting director, saw ‘Death of a Salesman’ and called me in for ‘Unbroken.’ The casting director of ‘Normal Heart’ had seen ‘Salesman’ too. I look back on it now, and it’s like one thing led to another; it was a chain reaction. (Director Quotes)
Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct ‘Catching Fire.’ As a writer and a director, I simply don’t have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make, because of the fixed and tight production schedule. (Director Quotes)
My favorite parts of work as an actor and a director are those unplanned mistakes that do happen, because it’s like catching lightning in a bottle. It’s the best part of what we do. (Director Quotes)
Any director or writer or artist has the right to do what they want to do - freedom of expression is something I celebrate. (Director Quotes)
I don’t go for holidays or celebrate my success because I know nothing is permanent. I don’t let it get to me - like I am India’s top director with too many hits. If that happens, I might lose the connect with my audience. The day I go wrong, they will run away from me. I want to be like an assistant director all my life. (Director Quotes)
I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, ‘I don’t want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie’ - and this was compounded by X-Men as well. (Director Quotes)
I think a good director can embrace any genre and it’s the kind of thing where you always want to do something different. You always want to challenge yourself. (Director Quotes)
I think you have to be scared every morning that you go out to shoot, or you lose your edge. With actors, there has to be that adrenaline and you have to keep challenging yourself, and I certainly challenge myself, as a director. (Director Quotes)
Every little opportunity and chance that I get to be on a set, to be a director, to utilize the skill sets that I already have and to learn what I don’t know, and to see how I can improve upon that is just a really great opportunity for me. (Director Quotes)
You can be playing a line some way and the director wants you to change that, or you can disagree. But I always think that the creative conversation between director and actor is what leads to good work. (Director Quotes)
As a director, you have to understand what is happening - if I don’t understand it, you can’t make changes. (Director Quotes)
Agnes Varda changed my view of cinema; she directs from an artistic point of view, and a film is most of all the expression of an artistic director. I learnt to enter the world and the imagination of a director. (Director Quotes)
Pretty much, the writer’s in charge in theater. Of course you’re in charge with the director, but no one can change your words. People can give you notes, but you don’t have to take them. In Hollywood you take them and you cash your check and that’s your job. It’s very different. (Director Quotes)
Unless you’re playing a historical figure, a writer or director can change their minds. And sometimes your job is to make them change their minds - to make them believe that you’re the one that can do it. (Director Quotes)
