Director Quotes (page 20)

I happen to have worked with male directors who don't understand women at all. Not at all. I'm flabbergasted by their ignorance. Catherine McCormack
Actors are accustomed to doing exactly what the director or writer requests us to do, and rarely get involved in that part of the process. Catherine McCormack
I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well. Patrick Stewart

I remember that it was never that difficult for me to get a director to look up and pay attention to me. Mind you, I don't know if that's necessarily charm. But I've played roles where my character has to be charming and I've found it quite easy to do. I think some of it is in my bones, but some of it is more deliberate. James McAvoy
Michael Pitt quote: "When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and..."
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that. Michael Pitt
There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it. Michael Pitt
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. Michael Pitt
Michael Pitt quote: "I think Van Sant is the most important American director we..."
