Director Quotes

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ is a good one because it not only turned out, I think, to be a really funny movie but it was also a delight to shoot. We were in the South of France, working with Glenne Headly and Michael Caine and Frank Oz the director - who were just fun Picture Quote #1

Wow. Ted Cruz falsely suggested Marco Rubio mocked the bible and was just forced to fire his communications director. More dirty tricks Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you have to give up all control to the director. He’s the boss and has all the power. I’m a control freak, so that’s really hard for me. Then when you see a film later, it can be infuriating, really disappointing. I’ve been very lucky, though, and so many of my early experiences were great Picture Quote #1

I guess I am basically most comfortable when I’m alone. As a kid, I was very much a loner. I love long distance running and long distance biking. A director once pointed out that those are all very isolated exercises you do for hours at a time Picture Quote #1

I’m not particularly needy, and I’m not particularly anxious. I don’t look for a director to tell me I’m doing a good job or that I’m great. I don’t need to be stroked. It’s more my own yardstick Picture Quote #1

What you do is get the right director and the right screenwriter and the right cast. It’s a fantastic job Picture Quote #1

I really feel like becoming a director came from other women saying, ‘Yeah, you can do this.’ I wanted to direct ‘Six Feet Under,’ and no, they didn’t let me Picture Quote #1

I’ll work with a director if I think I’m going to get into a comfortable situation, and if it’s someone I respect and who respects me, even if they’re not so well known. Movies are hard to make, and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best Picture Quote #1

Todd [Phillips] doesn’t care. That’s part of his genius as a director, he will say anything to anybody Picture Quote #1

I have a side of me that doesn’t care. I really enjoy physical comedy, thinking of an idea and pitching it to the director Picture Quote #1

I didn’t act in college, per se, because I didn’t want an acting degree. I don’t know what you do with that degree. When I was 16, I saw ‘Usual Suspects,’ and I wanted to be a director as well. So I thought I should go to school for directing and producing, something I knew nothing about Picture Quote #1

I believe the director is the one that sets the mood and if you have this hysterical director it’s a domino effect. I would work for him forever, for nothing. Don’t tell my agent that Picture Quote #1

I don’t blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That’s all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor Picture Quote #1

It depends who the director is you know, I mean Ken Loach for instance. I’ve done up to 32 takes with him Picture Quote #1

What makes it frustrating is when a director or a studio head doesn’t see me for the same part that they’ll see, let’s say, Drew Barrymore for. Drew’s a great friend of mine. But it’s like, No, we want more of an American type of girl Picture Quote #1

I kind of romanticized what it was like to be a writer and director when I was in my early twenties. Working as a production assistant knocked that right out of me Picture Quote #1

For years, I longed to hear Armstrong describe what it was like to contemplate Earth from 238,900 miles away. Former Space Center director George Abbey once told me that many NASA astronauts felt that looking at Earth was akin to a religious experience Picture Quote #1

Working with Joe [Kosinski], definitely. I loved working with Joe. For a guy who doesn’t really come from the fiction world - he comes from advertising and architecture - he’s extremely easy-going and very calm. He’s extremely detailed, but a very generous and fun director to work with. He really encouraged me to find the fun in the part and to have fun with it Picture Quote #1

Even though I studied in New York and I know the American system, I come from France where I learned that with movies in France where the director is king. There’s no such thing as a studio edit. It’s the director’s cut, period Picture Quote #1

The pastor of a parish will typically have no education in the chant or in music, and he will hire the first music director who walks through the door Picture Quote #1

If you look at the least effective of the ‘Twilight’ movies, it was when they brought in an action-movie director instead of a director who was really a good storyteller. And you can tell the difference Picture Quote #1

I love working with new directors. There’s so much drive and effort. It still comes down to the character for me, but if it’s a character I really want to play, I would never not do the project because of a new director Picture Quote #1

[H]aving the career of the beloved CIA Director and the commanding general in Afghanistan instantly destroyed due to highly invasive and unwarranted electronic surveillance is almost enough to make one believe not only that there is a God, but that he is an ardent civil libertarian Picture Quote #1

Control’ had to do with my own life a lot, and that’s why that seemed to be a film I could be the director of, because I had an emotional attachment to the whole story. And because of that experience, I feel that I can try other films. I didn’t set out to become a director Picture Quote #1

What you can do with visual effects is enhance the look of the character, but the actual integrity of the emotional performance and the way the character’s facial expressions work, that is what is going to be created on the day with other actors and the director Picture Quote #1

Women are just more oriented toward feelings - and I don’t mean that in a negative way. But with a male actor and a male director, the emotional exploration can only go so far. With a female director, you can end up exploring so many more depths Picture Quote #1

My first manager, Suzanne DeWalt, saw a play I was in. She was invited by the director Joan Scheckel, who was my first real acting teacher. Joan was also good friends with my friend Susie Landau Finch, who had first encouraged me to consider acting, so that’s how I began studying Picture Quote #1

My first soldier role was in ‘Flags of Our Fathers.’ Casting director Jay Binder saw that movie and was looking for soldiers for ‘Journey’s End,’ which led to ‘Generation Kill.’ Picture Quote #1

If a script comes together, and you end up liking the people who are part of it, that’s when you can make magic happen. It’s a huge combination of trying to find something you think you can deliver on and a director you think you can collaborate with to make a good picture Picture Quote #1

Truth be told, I didn’t want to be on T.V. I was going to be a writer or producer or a director, and at the end of my sophomore year, my department chairman put me up for a job doing weekend weather in Syracuse, New York Picture Quote #1
