A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.
I have great respect for directors who know what they're doing.
So I've had really great assistant directors for my last seven movies.
Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.
I've had great luck with directors. I've worked with all the great ones.
What I'm looking for is the variety of choices and the opportunity to work with great directors - that's what I'm looking for.
It does make you a better director and a better actor.
I like working with different directors; it keeps you on your toes.
I wouldn't want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.
I'm happiest when I can just be a director and watch.
Directors get to fire on many more cylinders than an actor.
I'm becoming a frustrated director, I think, in an actor's body.
I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.
We need to make is to strengthen the position of the director of the CIA.
In the studio the director controls the actor's every move, every inflection, every expression.
I don't make my living writing; I make my living as a producer and as a director.
I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
I've always - honestly - never thought of myself as an independent director.
I see what's behind everything the director wants to do.
As a director, try to be humble and not to overdo it, not overcoverage and over-covering the scene.
A director in Hollywood in my time couldn't do what he wanted to do.
