The film director, in many instances, has to swallow somebody else's decision about the final form of something. It's so hard as to be intolerable.
Trevor Nunn

I'd love to see the rushes but it's just not allowed because directors and also a lot of actors feel that if they see their work, and the director likes what they're doing, the actor might try to correct their mistakes.
Corey Haim

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
Elle Macpherson

The importance of the assistant director cannot be overemphasized.
John Frankenheimer

The only stage direction Jackie ever gave him, George said was: 'If you want to stay in the picture, stay close to me.' The rest of the cast remembered a television director's adage.
Audrey Meadows

That was me under the bath and the water being held down. The director wanted it to look as real as possible so he told Keanu, in front of me, don't go easy on her. So it was scary.
Rachel Weisz

You have a right to your opinion about the work that you're doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances.
Maggie Gyllenhaal

Marlon was more of a formal zoo director type.
Jim Fowler

I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.
James Cameron

I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there.You have to trust the director and react to nothing.
Katie Holmes

I think the wonderful thing about doing theater is that it's more of an actor's medium. I think that film is more of a director's medium. You can't edit something out on stage. It's there.
Kim Cattrall

Oh, well, in Los Angeles everybody is an actor, or a producer, or a writer, or a director, or an agent, or... So everybody understands the hours.
Julie Benz

And Louis Freeh was a completely dysfunctional FBI Director, who was actually waging his own private war against the Clinton Administration.
Sidney Blumenthal

Jim Brooks is a very powerful director and it was a lot of intense work.
Tea Leoni

If it's stage, the two most important artists are the actor and the playwright. If it's film, THE most important person is the director. The director says where the camera goes.
Brad Dourif

I only travel to good material, a good director and a good company. I won't work in another country for a year any longer, because I have a lovely wife and I adore her and I can't bear to be away from her.
Jim Dale

I think you've got to talk to the director, see the director's films and recognise that it's important that the work fits right in and see if as part of the movie.
Dennis Muren

I'm an actress who likes a strong, communicative director.
Kristin Davis

You can't just go in there and open your mouth until the cast and director feel comfortable with you.
Beth Henley

I think the director is becoming more important. To work under rushed conditions, you need to have an extremely professional director. If the director's good than the end result will be good.
Glenn Ford
