Director Quotes

Robert de Niro has always been fascinating to me. And if John Cazale were still alive, that would be a man I’d love to work with.

I think he’s a brilliant director, and he gets such compelling stories out of his actors and out of his crew Picture Quote #1

Most development doesn’t make it to series. So you want the writer and director to have a really good experience with development because, if it doesn’t work out, you want to work with them again.

I came to Los Angeles only after filming ‘A Good Day to Die Hard,’ when I was cast in the independent movie ‘Delirium.’ Director Lee Roy Kunz was looking everywhere for a Russian actress. He saw my photos, and only then he learned where I starred before! Eventually, I spent several months in the U.S., and we made the film quickly Picture Quote #1

There’s a different energy with a female director, a female at the head of the production. I don’t prefer one over the other, but they’re definitely different experiences, and I would love to have more of them Picture Quote #1

What happens is things come to you - director, script - and if you respond to it, it’s because it’s tapping into some part of what’s inside you, and different roles tap into different parts Picture Quote #1

On a lot of shows that I’ve done, we had the same directors, which was cool. But then, it’s also great to do shows where the director changes every week, because you get to see all these different personalities and see what you like dealing with better, as an actor Picture Quote #1

I stopped directing in 2001 for four or five years, until I did the TV series ‘Masters Of Horror.’ I had been working steadily as a director since 1970. That’s a long time. I was burned out Picture Quote #1

I would direct TV. That’s a little different. It’s more of a contained world as a director. When you’re doing a film you get on the rollercoaster, you put the safety bar down and then you’re gone. And it’s hard. It’s hard, too, as a parent, I think, because the hours are so long. It’s hard Picture Quote #1
