Right before I go on stage, I'm absolutely terrified. My mind darts at many directions, but the center of me is going forward into the performance.
If I'm racist, don't think I would have directed shows like 'The Parkers' and 'The Wayans Brothers' or worked 41 episodes with Victoria Rowell on 'Diagnosis: Murder.'
In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.
There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.
Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.
I can't do pieces I only admire technically. I have to feel some direct contact with them.
Every type of purely direct concrete description bears the mark of artistic portrayal.
I keep saying this, but the most important part of directing is casting, and the rest of it is pretty easy.
You have to think outside the box! Can you imagine One Direction and Eminem?! That would be hilarious.
Those who appreciate the ways of simple tribes, where every activity is direct and immediately understandable, are able to live among them.
Yeah, the whole 'One Tree Hill' experience made me realize I wanna write, and produce, and direct as well as act. I'm interested in all facets of the industry.
If you've got a piece and you can feel the person who's going to direct it is really made for it, if it's really special for them, then it's going to be a better-than-usual experience.
Any direct experience that I have with indigenous peoples and their plights may feed into the nature of the story I choose to tell. In fact, it almost certainly will.
This is one of the benefits, as well as one of the difficulties of directing a member of your family. You know where the buttons are. You can push them if you want.
Family is very important to me because that is the footprint we perpetuate. That is, the ripple in the water when the rock first impacts the pool, and it is those waves, that energy that one produces, that determines our direction.
Napster has pointed the way for a new direction for music distribution, and we believe it will form the basis of important and exciting new business models for the future of the music industry.
The sooner you accept the fact that you will have both successes and failures, the easier it will be to get your business and personal life headed in the right direction.
Directing is the last frontier for women in the movie business. We are studio heads, we are producers and we are writers, but we are not directors in any numbers.
I've had fans come and knock on my door. I'm usually polite, but I'm usually very direct and say, 'It's not cool that you come here uninvited.'
Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Sensorial perception, for example, certainly occurs with greater or less accuracy according to the degree of interest; it is constantly given other directions by the change of external stimuli and by ideas.
