Directors Quotes

I don’t plan, because everything goes against my plans anyways. There’s absolutely no point in planning anything. I’m just enjoying the moment. I’m meeting with a whole lot of people - casting directors, directors, agents. I have things going on everywhere, but I have no solid plans Picture Quote #1

You hear stories about directors using manipulation to get actors to do certain things, but I think when you’re working with professional actors, it’s all about trust. They can do anything you want, it’s just a matter of them understanding what you’re looking for, and the reason why Picture Quote #1

The things that I’ve enjoyed most are not really science fiction. They are not much fun to make because there are so many toys involved. They are fun for directors who like toys, like Ridley Scott, but they are not a lot of fun to make. A lot of hanging around, changing this and that Picture Quote #1

Being known as a writer did change the relationships I had with directors. The rap on actors is that they always want to inflate their parts. But when directors know you write screenplays and have a different view of things, you really get invited into the huddle in a much fuller way. And those collaborations end in friendships Picture Quote #1

In my first film, we always tried to have a script and work in a normal way, but I was constantly changing things during shooting. Because I worked as a scriptwriter for 10 years, I understood that directors always wanted to change what was originally written, to improve on it Picture Quote #1

Having been a child actor, I remember how directors would trick me to get good performances out of me. I don’t think you need to do that Picture Quote #1

I’ve been fortunate in my career to have the opportunity to pick and choose the parts I play. I’ve also been lucky to always be involved with quality actors, quality directors, quality writers Picture Quote #1

What’s weird is that I work with these directors and then I start channeling them. I kind of turn into them a bit - which is cool when you’re working with Clint Eastwood Picture Quote #1

I’m so tired of hearing casting directors ask if I have a sore throat. The people who have told me that my voice is distinctive, it’s unusual...those people have always been close to my heart Picture Quote #1

I really respect the Coen brothers as directors and as creative individuals and with the way that they handle the industry and the business side of things Picture Quote #1

I’m in awe of directors like the Coen brothers who can shoot their script and edit it, and that’s the movie. They’re not discovering the movie in postproduction. They’re editing the script they shot Picture Quote #1

I live in L.A., where every coffee shop is filled with scriptwriters, producers and directors Picture Quote #1

When movies work or a TV series, when they really work, it’s because of the collaborative effort. Competition is the death knell for anything, in my opinion. Especially in Hollywood. When actors are competing against each other, or when directors are competing against actors, it’s usually the beginning of the end Picture Quote #1

It’s just unfair that talent of color aren’t given the same opportunities as white and male actors, directors, producers, writers, et cetera Picture Quote #1

I can say pretty confidently that I am not the right guy to do a superhero movie, just because I was not a comic book kid. I don’t know that mythology, and I don’t have it ingrained in me in the way that a lot of these other directors do Picture Quote #1

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don’t understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films Picture Quote #1

I have zero tolerance for people who don’t come completely prepared. I expect contribution, I expect attendance, and I expect directors to take trips and visit the company’s programs Picture Quote #1

I’m communicating with the directors of the Soviet companies, and I see that it is wrong, but when I go to the official discussions, they discuss we should change the color of the walls Picture Quote #1

Now, therefore, the Directors of the company are hereby ordered to see that precautions are taken to make travel on said railroad perfectly safe by using a screw with at least twenty-four inches diameter Picture Quote #1

This great oracle of the East India Company himself admits that, if there is no power vested in the Court of Directors but that of the patronage, there is really no government vested in them at all Picture Quote #1

I love working with the same actors repeatedly. That happens a lot. It’s kind of inevitable, especially if you work with the same writers and directors and you start to form a company of actors. You gravitate towards each other Picture Quote #1

My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I’d like to build something to that effect Picture Quote #1

Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It’s difficult when you’re used to owning the copyright and having a landlord’s possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and, if I’m upset, I can pull the play. But the only two directors I’ve worked with are pretty great Picture Quote #1

I really love Hitchcock; I think he was a complete genius, to me one of the best directors. Such a sense of how to put things together Picture Quote #1

All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It’s a funny breed, directors Picture Quote #1

What if lawmakers never spoke to their constituents? Oddly enough, that’s exactly how corporate America operates. Shareholders vote for directors, but the directors rarely, if ever, communicate with them Picture Quote #1

I’d love to see the rushes but it’s just not allowed because directors and also a lot of actors feel that if they see their work, and the director likes what they’re doing, the actor might try to correct their mistakes Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a fan of directors who clutter a piece with all sorts of crazy preconceptions or weird ideas Picture Quote #1

I love improv. ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love,’ the script was really great, but the directors were open to letting you try different things. And that felt like a muscle I hadn’t exercised in a really long time Picture Quote #1

I look for good directors mainly because if you do enough of movies where there’s not a real creative vision behind it, you start to turn into a robot and you want to jump off a bridge Picture Quote #1
