Boards of directors are allowed to work together, so are banks and investors and corporations in alliances with one another and with powerful states. That’s just fine. It’s just the poor who aren’t supposed to cooperate.
What you want, as an actor, is a great leader. I can't bear it when I work with a director who is wishy-washy and says, "What did you think?"
Every director is completely different.
Maybe I have just a younger voice than many other directors.
Everybody just asks me 'Are you going to make Hollywood movies now?' First, I don't know. Second, I never dreamed about that; I just dreamed about making movies with Tarantino. So if I can make movies with a lot of amazing directors - yes.
In comics, the writer is also the director in a certain way. So if this were a film, you wouldn't tell the cinematographer to make a good fight scene while you go and get a cup of coffee.
Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.
The Dead was cool, It's a great horror story. I went to the casting director of this movie and talked to him, then they called my agent and had me come in and read for it and they wanted to use me.
Yes, there are directors I admire, the mavericks. Altman. There are many good directors.
In some cases, the casting directors have casted blindly and have not looked into my ethnic background
It's great when improv is encouraged. It's a really fun thing. It depends on who's in the movie and how their process works, as well. It takes a director who is open to that because you have a script, but then something funny could happen on set. So, to have people around you who encourage improv is really exciting.
I'm all about working with directors that are doing different techniques and I think everyone has their way of getting it to the place that they think is best.
Things have changed a great deal since the days of Mr. Mayer. The studios no longer control, as they did in those days, artists or directors or producers, as the case may be.
Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him.
I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.
What I think happens, and that you have to acknowledge though, is that a director uses a book as a launching pad for his own work and that's always very flattering.
All of the directors I've worked with I have loved and would work with again. I have no favorites.
As an actor, you tell part of a story. As a writer, you get more of telling that story. But as a director, they're seeing the world through your eyes.
I would love to have a part opposite a great actor - like, say, Pacino or De Niro or Hoffman. And to work with a top director. That's my dream.
The director sent for me for Tarzan. I climbed the tree and walked out on a limb. The next day I was told I was an actor
I would like you to consider the difference in the time from 1963 to date. The FBI, at that time, was headed by Mr. Hoover who had been appointed Director continuously. He had, I would say, a good reputation.
Directors, like actors, get typecast.
The importance of the assistant director cannot be overemphasized.
I was in Japan, and my assistant director had worked with Kurosawa. I used quite of number of Kurosawa's crew.
I don't like directors that just say, Stand there and now do this.
