Director Quotes

I will work with a director who has good material because at the end of the day, that’s what counts Picture Quote #1

Therefore, when you see the end result, it’s difficult to see who’s the director, me or them. Ultimately, everything belongs to the actors - we just manage the situation Picture Quote #1

I think the director is becoming more important. To work under rushed conditions, you need to have an extremely professional director. If the director’s good than the end result will be good Picture Quote #1

Unless you have a real passion for making movies, then don’t bother. I had to carry energy and light into every meeting, only to be told, ‘We don’t want you.’ I couldn’t take it personally. You just have to wait, and live for those moments when the casting director likes you Picture Quote #1

Well, it’s so cheesy to say but you can’t find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I’m not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience Picture Quote #1

My favorite movie out of the old movies was ‘Escape to Witch Mountain.’ We were working with horses and bears, and when you have a great friend like Ike and a great director... it was a great experience Picture Quote #1

Rewriting the negative beliefs you have learned is the essence of becoming the director of your life Picture Quote #1

Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn’t just a director. He’s potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have Picture Quote #1

I never thought being the producer was being the dictator. It means being the director and being the coach. It’s a way of keeping everybody focused on the goal, and also having final say. Everybody can be in the same car, but somebody has to drive Picture Quote #1

I think everyone’s different but in comedy, I try to do my scene to make the director and the other actors laugh. If I can make them laugh and we have the same sensibility, then I’m on the right page Picture Quote #1

I know, as an actor, I don’t like sharing everything with the director. And it’s fine if they don’t with me Picture Quote #1

I think when I was getting into directing, or wanting to be a director, when I was a teenager, the two films that really inspired me were Raising Arizona and Evil Dead II. And in the case of the former, I thought, Wow. Why don’t all comedies look like this? And then as I started doing comedy, particularly when I started doing it on TV Picture Quote #1

The two most exciting things for me to get to work on ‘The Wolverine’ was getting to work with James Mangold, the director who directed 3:10 to Yuma’ and ‘Walk the Line’ as well as getting to work with Hugh Jackman Picture Quote #1

There is no part of the executive branch that more exists on the outer edge of executive prerogative than the American intelligence community - the intelligence community, CIA, covert action. My literal responsibility as director of CIA with regard to covert action was to inform the Congress - not to seek their approval, to inform Picture Quote #1

When I became director of CIA, it was just clear to me intuitively, without a whole lot of science behind it, that we had expanded rapidly and inefficiently. So I arbitrarily picked a number, 10 percent, and I said over the next 12 months, we are going to reduce our reliance on contractors by 10 percent Picture Quote #1

Your director is your main support - actors don’t generally give each other advice on set, not in my experience Picture Quote #1

The techniques of different directors are very different, and people have different ways of expressing ideas in film. I’m happiest when working with a director as I would be if I were an actor. I’m wanting to provide a really good performance Picture Quote #1

A well known director wouldn’t take the chance on casting me for an American role after he discovered that I was English. Some time later, he expressed his regret that he hadn’t taken the chance with me Picture Quote #1

In ‘Beowulf,’ director Robert Zemeckis uses a technique called ‘motion capture’ to conjure fantastical things, angles into action and sweeping vistas to stun your eyes and take your breath away. But what he hasn’t mastered and what the technique can’t do is this: emotion capture Picture Quote #1

With the commissioning of new schools undertaken by a local director of school standards, decisions will be fair and transparent, rooted in the needs of the local community. The admissions code and the role of the adjudicator will also be strengthened to provide fairness for all children Picture Quote #1

My interests were aroused, and my faith in the cliches of the subject destroyed, as so often with other subjects, by the discussions with my friend, Aaron Director Picture Quote #1

I’d like to think every director I’ve worked with has fallen in love with me, I know Dorothy Arzner did Picture Quote #1

I hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They’re not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After ‘Juno’ I thought: ‘I think I’ve defined myself enough as my own director that I’d love to work with my father.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am Picture Quote #1

And as a director, you make 1,000 decisions a day, mostly binary decisions: yes or no, this one or that one, the red one or the blue one, faster or slower. And it’s the culmination of those decisions that define the tone of the film and whether or not it moves people Picture Quote #1

I love working fast. I don’t relish the director who wants to do 25 to 30 takes, or the actors who insist on doing 25 or 30 takes Picture Quote #1

I was told I was fat in the modeling world, and a director on a shoot told me I needed to lose weight. The J-Lo booty wasn’t popular then, and I wanted to be the perfect Hollywood girl - tall, blonde and skinny. I couldn’t do the ‘tall’ because I was 5 2, and I couldn’t do the skinny, either Picture Quote #1

I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I’m working with, or mother, if I’m working with a female, or it can be confused Picture Quote #1

On a movie set that works, you have your father figure, the director, you have your siblings, your other actors Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a favorite director just like I don’t have a favorite color or I don’t have a favorite food. I like everything Picture Quote #1
