Director Quotes

The film director, in many instances, has to swallow somebody else’s decision about the final form of something. It’s so hard as to be intolerable Picture Quote #1

Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and often what makes a good director is knowing when not to say something. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director’s hat is only trying to justify his position Picture Quote #1

I don’t like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven’t earned as an actor, performer or director Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any particular excitement about working with any specific director or actor at this point 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

I choose my work very carefully, always for the script and the director, and I don’t think that’s going to change. My work is like a house. It’s built on very strong poles Picture Quote #1

My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That’s what directors are, they’re storytellers because they’re directing where your focus is going to be as an audience Picture Quote #1

Theatre director: a person engaged by the management to conceal the fact that the players cannot act Picture Quote #1

I always choose my projects for the script or what the director want to tell with that story. And if I like the story Picture Quote #1

I have a way of filming things and staging them and designing sets. There were times when I thought I should change my approach, but in fact, this is what I like to do. It’s sort of like my handwriting as a movie director. And somewhere along the way, I think I’ve made the decision: I’m going to write in my own handwriting Picture Quote #1

If I feel the part is right, and I know that the producers and the director want me, I’d go for broke. Always Picture Quote #1

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with some of the great cinematographers. So I’m always watching what they do and I’m watching how the director composes his shots, just because I find it interesting as an actor; you’re trying to help them out as well Picture Quote #1

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

Its... a hard thing for a director, to think you came up with a shot, something from your mind, and someone died while doing it. Its the worst thing youll ever have to live with. It was very hard for me to get back on the horse again Picture Quote #1

The love scenes that worked, regardless of the director, were the ones where the actors weren’t fearful. When somebody was fearful, you could see it right away. It takes you out of the story, and that’s to be avoided at all costs Picture Quote #1

If you have a script that’s not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who’s not good, never are you going to have a good movie Picture Quote #1

The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You’re a pawn in somebody else’s chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that’s very thrilling Picture Quote #1

I’m not aware that I was consciously influenced by any director, though these things often happen unnoticed, submerged in the unconscious Picture Quote #1

How can you have a director that doesn’t go to work with the crew every day and talk to them? Picture Quote #1

Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience Picture Quote #1

The way I see it, when I go out as an actor, it should be on a type of film I’m never going to do as a director Picture Quote #1

Carefully execute every instruction given to you by the director, producer, and studio. But that would be a life not worth living Picture Quote #1

If someone suddenly lost their director the day before shooting and wanted me to step in, I’d be willing to. But I’d do brain surgery the same way. I’m always up for something new Picture Quote #1

Good, bad mediocre or whatever it is, if a director wants me in his movie, I take it as a compliment Picture Quote #1

I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Tarantino is the coolest damn guy; he’s just so much fun to work with. He might be the best director I’ve ever worked with. He just seems to know how to do it and he knows how to make you feel good about it. He’s having so much fun you start having fun. You can’t help it Picture Quote #1

It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I’m carrying no baggage. They haven’t seen me in anything, even though I’ve done nine films Picture Quote #1
