Director Quotes - page 39

There are things that I would avoid, so I have the choice to say no, when I feel I'm repeating myself too much. But then there could be a reason to do that with a good director. So I think actors have to have a loose philosophy. (Toby Jones)

I went to meet Joe Johnston, the director, and he's charming. I've been very lucky. Most of the directors I've worked with are charming. But Joe's a particularly charming man, and he showed me lots of designs and, rather memorably, welcomed me to the Marvel Universe.

Toby Jones

Well, it's so cheesy to say but you can't find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I'm not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience.

Todd Phillips

I take it very seriously, music. I think it's one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue.

Todd Phillips

The thing that fascinates me is that the way I came to film and television is extinct. Then there were gatekeepers, it was prohibitively expensive to make a film, to be a director you had to be an entrepreneur to raise money.

Tom Hooper

Obviously, if a director doesn't communicative a clear, relevant vision of the material, it will not succeed no matter how good the material.

Tom Skerritt

As a director, I have to feel realism from actors, and they can't be plastic.

Tommy Wiseau

As a director, it's my job to provoke, and when people decided 'The Room' be called a phenomenon, or whatever you call it, it's fine with me.

Tommy Wiseau

The writing is really hard. You're alone. It really pulls it out of you. You pull it out of your head. But when you're a director, you're shopping - you're picking this actor, you're picking this scene. It's like the most intense kinetic high-speed shopping of all time. You sit in a chair and it will all come rushing at you like a wind tunnel.

Tony Gilroy

I would be a terrible director, I could never write anything. One of my great strengths is that I know all of my weaknesses.

Topher Grace

I don't want to be an editor! I don't want to direct; I'd be a horrible director. I don't want to write - I have a "story by” credit on one film I did. And I don't want to edit at all. (Topher Grace)

'Killer Joe' provides a lot of red meat for the theater. Pam MacKinnon is the perfect director to shepherd a group of actors who share a certain bloodlust.

Tracy Letts

I've worked on shows where the lead actor doesn't know their lines, doesn't care, and it affects everybody - the crew, the director, the other actors. It's definitely a responsibility.

Tatiana Maslany

I thoroughly enjoyed working on Enemy of the State. Tony Scott is an important director, and has an amazing ability to express himself, and he doesn't do it in musical terms, he does it in emotional terms. I got along really well with him.

Trevor Rabin

It's an important thing to have a relationship with the director, and have it be a positive one.

Trevor Rabin

I love working with directors who have good taste. It's incredible when a director can say something and things open up for you. I went to The University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and some of my best experiences on sets have been working with other alums.

Trieste Kelly Dunn

My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer and my mom's a director and writer.

Troian Bellisario

I love Ben Affleck so much. He's an amazing director.

Taylor Schilling

I'm not an easygoing guy as a director.

Ted Kotcheff

Not many French producers work the American way. In France, the director decides everything, he has final cut. I'm trying to do things differently, without the Luc Besson solution.

Thomas Langmann

I think that it helps that I have acted. That said, it doesn't mean you're going to be a good director. (Valeria Golino)

I'd love to do a Michel Gondry film. That would be ideal! I'd love to do an Almodovar film; you know, I think he's very, very talented. I don't care that people say he's pretentious. So what? He's a good director; he can be pretentious.

William Moseley

I had a director who told me a story about a fan who had commented on how nice it was to see her sister laughing and how happy the show made her. I like to make people happy and make them laugh.

Will Estes

The two most exciting things for me to get to work on 'The Wolverine' was getting to work with James Mangold, the director who directed '3:10 to Yuma' and 'Walk the Line' as well as getting to work with Hugh Jackman.

Will Yun Lee

I love Rob Zombie. Rob's just a dude, you know? He's an artist, but he's a regular guy, down to earth. And he's a damned good director, too, and a lot of fun to work with.

William Forsythe
