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

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

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.

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.

I'm supposed to be the director of a television company, but I've only ever seen that company as a vehicle for making the kind of programmes we wanted to make, getting our ideas on the screen.

We need to make is to strengthen the position of the director of the CIA.

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