Director Quotes (page 23)

But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that's maybe what helped me to get the part. Olivier Martinez
I used to love Woody Allen but feel he's become a hack as a director. 'Bullets Over Broadway' is the only film of his I've enjoyed in the last 10 years. Douglas Wood
The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart. John Woo
'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' is a good one because it not only turned out, I think, to be a really funny movie but it was also a delight to shoot. We were in the South of France, working with Glenne Headly and Michael Caine and Frank Oz the director - who were just fun. Steve Martin
The parameters are such that I don't get offered a lot of work. I'm sure most directors hear my list of don'ts and say forget it. Jamie Lee Curtis
Hal Holbrook quote: "I don't have a director. The audience directs me."
I don't have a director. The audience directs me. Hal Holbrook
I think the most insulting thing you can do to a director is to challenge when he or she is satisfied with your interpretation. Dustin Hoffman
I was a bartender in New York and I overheard this girl saying she made $3000 doing a commercial. A kid at work told me, 'Hey, I know this director and he'd really like you!'. So I walked into this guy's office and was like 'I was thinking maybe I could make $3000' and he hired me for commercials, short films, like 15 jobs in a row. Pauley Perrette
Alan Cumming quote: "It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in..."
It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves. Alan Cumming
I think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you're discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you're feeling a bit insecure. Alan Cumming
Actors aren't stupid, mostly, and if there's a sensibility and an aesthetic that a director's going for, if you're aware of that too, you can do things to help that. Alan Cumming
I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important. Robert Wise
George Tenet has been the director of central intelligence since 1997, time enough to have changed the Agency's culture. He has failed. He should go. Richard Perle
When I worked on Altar Boys, they wanted to see us having fun. The four of us would have fun on set and steal each other's lines, and mess with the director. Kieran Culkin
Rosie Perez quote: "We all like indie directors - heck, I even married one... but..."
We all like indie directors - heck, I even married one... but we're divorced now. Rosie Perez
