The thing is David is also aware of everything and it's not like you're going somewhere the director is not.
William Hurt

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

The director, of course, was Bob Fosse. But again, I worked with my father to prepare for the role.

The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie.
John Frankenheimer

But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.
