The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I’m sure sometimes I’m the woman.
The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.
Of course I’m schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.
As a director, you try to find what is creative.
A director makes 100 decisions an hour. Students ask me how you know how to make the right decision, and I say to them, ‘If you don’t know how to make the right decision, you’re not a director.’
