Text Quotes
That’s the greatest sin a director can commit; to make a film simply because he wants to make a film. (Director Quotes)
The main problem is that the Hollywood system has already made the film before the director shoots a single frame. (Director Quotes)
I’m an unusual director in that my cut is usually shorter then the final released film. I like short films. (Director Quotes)
Editing a film is always a question of time, and the director. I’ve worked with a lot of directors who don’t mind my involvement. They appreciated it. (Director Quotes)
Every time you say yes to a film there’s a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc. (Director Quotes)
In film producing, there is an inherent tension between the director, the money and the producer, and that’s what keeps it flowing and honest and accountable. (Director Quotes)
When I made my first film, I didn’t think of it as directing, so it wasn’t like I set out to become a director. (Director Quotes)
I usually do about five cuts as a director. I haven’t ever directed a film where I haven’t made five passes through the movie, and that takes a long time. (Director Quotes)
As a first-time director, you cannot have final cut. But as a producer, you can have final cut. (Director Quotes)
The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it’s their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions. (Director Quotes)
In Korea, the director has the final word. If the director makes a decision, that decision is final. In Hollywood, every decision needs to go through the producer, the studio, and sometimes even the main actor. There is a certain procedure that needs to be followed. (Director Quotes)
My career is based primarily upon finding a balance with a director and their vision, and that means sublimating my own personal ego toward their material. (Director Quotes)
It’s true, I’m the youngest, highest-grossing French director. I have a few records, but no one knows or simply doesn’t care. That’s good, because I like that. Ultimately, I want to keep working, making a lot of movies, and get better at it. It’s about finding great scripts and bringing them to life. (Director Quotes)
In ‘Finding Nemo,’ all of the voices were recorded separate - so I would be in a sound booth in a studio by myself reading the lines with just the director. Basically, you can just come in, and it doesn’t matter what you are wearing or what you look like; it is all about how your voice sounds. (Director Quotes)
With a stage play, they can’t cut a word; you can be in rehearsals every day, you cast it, you cast the director, too; the amount of control for a playwright is almost infinite, so you have that control over the finished product. (Director Quotes)
Usually in features, I’m the lead. I consider the director the captain, but I consider myself the first mate, and it’s up to me to keep in contact with the heart of the crew. (Director Quotes)
Throughout whatever I do, I always just say Director first. I am directing the storylines and I’m creating what it is. (Director Quotes)
A music director cannot and should not be chosen on the basis of a first date. It is not so difficult to make a good impression with a single appearance, usually containing some of a conductor’s party pieces, works they have performed successfully many times before. (Director Quotes)
There’s definitely a psychology to making you feel important and like you’re part of the game. It’s a very special quality, especially with a first-time director. (Director Quotes)
It was very important to me to choose a director like Gary [Ross], whose instincts come from character, who’s a storyteller, and who puts characters first. (Director Quotes)
Picking projects, it’s always director first and then script. Those two things are pretty much head-to-head. (Director Quotes)
When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn’t acting. It’s following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that. (Director Quotes)
I loved putting on stories as plays when I was just six. I was the director, the actress and the set designer; I cast my girlfriends in parts, and I suggested to the local kindergarten teachers that we do free performances for the children. (Director Quotes)
There is a director who should make ‘Silver Surfer’ - he is mentally committed to it. He’s doing another movie now. What’s most important to me about this guy, first, is that he’s incredible with visuals. But he’s also a spiritual guy, a Zen Buddhist. ... Galactus is a force of nature, not a being. That’s all I’m saying. (Director Quotes)
The thing that struck me most after first viewing ‘The Sessions’ was the charm of Mark O’Brien and the intimacy that the director, Ben Lewin, manages to capture perfectly on screen. I did not feel forced or cajoled in any way into believing the story. (Director Quotes)
The foreign-language Oscar is something that doesn’t go to the producer or the director; it goes to the country. (Director Quotes)
I have always firmly believed that every director should be judged solely by their work, and not by their work based on their gender. Hollywood is supposedly a community of forward-thinking and progressive people, yet this horrific situation for women directors persists. Gender discrimination stigmatizes our entire industry. Change is essential. Gender neutral hiring is essential. (Director Quotes)
In 2009, at the Vancouver Peace Summit, I met a supporter of Free the Slaves, an NGO dedicated to eradicating modern-day slavery; weeks later, I flew down to Los Angeles and met with the director of Free the Slaves; thus began my journey into exploring modern-day slavery. (Director Quotes)
Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you’re a director. Everything after that you’re just negotiating your budget and your fee. (Director Quotes)
I chose to stylize ‘Among Friends’ and add a dark comedic element because I didn’t want to get pigeonholed as a genre director. I have a pretty dark sense of humor and knew that in order to get distribution, I had to do something in the genre for my first time out. (Director Quotes)
