Yeah, I've worked with a couple of female directors, now, and I think that they're amazing. As good or better than guy directors.
I think that it helps that I have acted. That said, it doesn't mean you're going to be a good director.
In the acting game, you spend a long time fighting against what the director perceives you to be. And half the time the directors don't know.
I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.
After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.
Director Burgess: Who's the victim? John Anderton: Somebody. Director Burgess: Who? John Anderton: [trying to remember the name] Somebody. Leo Crow. Director Burgess: Who is he? John Anderton: I have no idea! I've never heard of him! But I'm supposed...
John Chambers: Let's see. Well, this one's got an M.A. in English. She should be your screenwriter. Sometimes they go along on scouts because they want the free meals... Here's your director. Tony Mendez: Can you teach somebody to be a director in a ...
It's madness to hand in a script to a director, leave them alone, and for the director not to want the writer there with rehearsals and the shoot.

I've always noticed a difference between working with a director and working with a writer/director. In how much they're invested and how specific they are.
My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress.
Obviously I would love to work with all these great directors like the Coen Brothers, Tarantino. Robert Rodriguez is a dream director of mine.
I worked with Roger Moore on three episodes of 'The Saint.' He is a lovely man, a good director, and was my favourite actor to work with.
When I was the NIH director, I often expressed envy of institute directors: they had the money and ran the scientific programmes.
I have hardly ever worked with the same director twice. But when you have worked with a director before, you understand his behavior.
Working on a play is a vibrant and collaborative business. Everyone from the choreographer to the music director to the director to the writers work together toward the same goal, and everyone chimes in on everything.
The only person who has artistic control is the director, and 'director' is how you spell God in Hollywood.
I have my pride. I'm a director. I'm not going to go and recreate some other director's vision.
As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.
I love being on sets with very seasoned directors as well as very new directors. Every time is a discovery process. You learn something new every time.
I appreciate film actors who respect the film making process.
