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.
Matthew McGrory

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.
Joan Chen

I think the most insulting thing you can do to a director is to challenge when he or she is satisfied with your interpretation.
Dustin Hoffman

I rode it once, which was up the driveway in the opening credits of the show. I didn't know how to stop it. I actually nearly killed the director of photography, and I smashed into the sound truck.
Henry Winkler

My father worked for governments all his life as an engineer and public works director.
Edward Tufte

Most actors are insecure enough already without having a director who adds to that.
Marie Windsor

The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors.
James Cameron

The thing about For Better or Worse is the only thing that made me an okay director for that is that I have a sense of humor, and it was supposed to be funny.
Jason Alexander

Every time I work with a European director, I find they hire the person that captures the spirit of the role. Americans tend to hire the best face. The person that looks more like the role, whether they can perform the role or not is a bonus.
Elizabeth Pena

For a director, the most challenging scenes are the dialogue scenes.
Bruce Beresford

Burt Lancaster was largely responsible for me becoming a director.
Sydney Pollack

One tries to be an observer as an actor and indeed as a director because the small things, the give-away things are what are really interesting to a performer.
Janet Suzman

My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That's what directors are, they're storytellers because they're directing where your focus is going to be as an audience.
Dennis Quaid

What you do is get the right director and the right screenwriter and the right cast. It's a fantastic job.
Robbie Coltrane

What goes on between a father and a son, which is usually such a private matter, is that they are able to be honest with each other, and be honest with me, as a director. It's just remarkable.
Lee Grant

I hate to sound like Julie the cruise director but it's people that I think about all the time.
Bruce McCulloch

Every actress has a line she'll draw, where she'll say, This I will do and this I won't. For me, everything has to be important to the story and the director has to be able to tell me why.
Sheryl Lee

I'd worked in Clockwork Orange with Stanley Kubrick and since Stanley was such a prestigious director this opened all sorts of doors for me - one of them being Star Wars.
David Prowse

I was very fortunate in having David Fincher, the director come to me. Now I've seen the finished product, I feel that every bit of the nine months we spent on the film was worth it.
Dwight Yoakam

It's a director's job to tell a story and he's very well versed in telling stories with a bit of comedy in them and keeping the pace of the movie right and that's exactly what he did. He was observant of a world he didn't understand but he told a wonderful story.
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
