Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.
Nicole Kidman

I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.
Keenen Ivory Wayans

I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.
Tim Robbins

Acting is the work of two people-it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.
Victoria Abril

The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting.
Victoria Abril

The director had come to Madrid to court me.
Victoria Abril

Do you know what I'm working on now? My first feature as a director.
Faye Dunaway

If you have a script that's not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who's not good, never are you going to have a good movie.
Monica Bellucci

Mel is a great director because he's not just a director, he's an actor, so he knows how to direct actors. I loved working with him. He's great as a director. He's so intelligent. He's generous. I really loved him.
Monica Bellucci

But in the UK, I've given up any hope of being considered a director.
Mel Smith

Tarantino is the coolest damn guy; he's just so much fun to work with. He might be the best director I've ever worked with. He just seems to know how to do it and he knows how to make you feel good about it. He's having so much fun you start having fun. You can't help it.
David Carradine

I mean, I've sold all these scripts and nothing's been made. Studios have closed, stars have died. I had a director find Jesus. And the pictures just don't get made.
Bruce Vilanch

In the studio the director controls the actor's every move, every inflection, every expression.
Bela Lugosi

Good is the director who lets you do what you have to do.
Marc Ribot

I don't even know if I can call myself a director.
Charles S. Dutton

Every director is completely different.
Miranda Otto

When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said 'Are you sure you're Ellis's son?'
Wynton Marsalis

A director just pushes them a little this way or that way.
Debbie Allen

My college training was primarily in theatre, with an eye to becoming a director, actor, or producer.
Orson Scott Card

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.
Rory Bremner
