Film Directors Quotes (page 4)

In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I'll be offered films in America. It's the encounter, with the director and the story that counts. Jean Dujardin
Obviously in Art of Noise, I'm just part of the group, and when I do film scores, it's always in collaboration with the director and other people involved. Anne Dudley
I think TV is much more the writer's medium and film is about the director and their vision and how you can collaborate with them and see that through to the end. They are so different. Patrick Dempsey
I'm trying to interpret the film through the director's head, but it all comes out through me. So, a composer is kind of like a psychic medium. Danny Elfman
David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He's incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing. Chiwetel Ejiofor
They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true. Charlie Hunnam
The '80s were a time of technical wonder in filmmaking; unfortunately, some colleges didn't integrate their film and theater departments - so you had actors who were afraid of the camera, and directors who couldn't talk to the actors. Eric Stoltz
The great thing about having spent all this time on film sets is that I've been able to watch directors and how they work. I now know that this is what I want to do as well: to tell stories visually. But it's definitely my vision that I want to put across, nobody else's. 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
An appreciable number of directors have shifted to lower-cost films, allowing them to be satisfied with a more modest return. Sidney Poitier
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
It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone made a certain turn that I didn't expect . . . You know, I'm in. Brad Pitt
Paul Mazursky quote: "One thing I know is that I don't want to be a director for..."
One thing I know is that I don't want to be a director for hire, making genre films. Paul Mazursky
As an actor, you're always at the service of somebody else's vision. In a play, it's more of the director's vision, and he or she's got their hands on you all the way up to opening night, and if it's a film, there are even more people. Jeff Daniels
Beatrice Dalle quote: "I didn't so much choose the film as director Claire Denis..."
I didn't so much choose the film as director Claire Denis chose me. Beatrice Dalle
