Directing Quotes
I am very happy acting, and just have never gone at, or been bitten by the directing bug to the extent where I'm willing to put acting aside. If offered the opportunity, I think I could do a good job with the right material.
Stephen Lang
Drawing on the experience I have of now directing, to me, my one strength that I know is my ability to communicate with actors and therefore make characters really important.
Evanna Lynch
Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life.
Nicholas Jarecki
I came from a background of directing behind-the-scenes documentaries.
Peyton Reed
I'll be directing some more 'Private Practice' episodes when we wrap 'Caprica.'
Eric Stoltz
The script of Regression wasn't the draw for me. It was largely Alejandro Amenabar and his way of talking. To hear him talking about the script was way more interesting than the script. He wrote it, and so, English is his second language. It's an interesting thing. I've had that before. I was directed by Alfonso Cuarón before, too. It's always interesting when you're being directed by somebody like that. So much of directing is about communication, and finding the right words, and what it means, and how to convey certain emotions and ideas.
Ethan Hawke
Before I start directing a show, I try to spend a few weeks hanging around the set, getting to know the crew and talking to the actors about how they like to work. Who is fussy? Who is left-handed? Who wants to go home early, and who is the perfectionist?
Eric Stoltz
Directing is like putting together a collage.
Ethan Hawke
I've been writing a lot, I've a few projects I'm trying to finance, I do some acting, I do some directing... Apart from that, if I could get lower than a 10 handicap on my golf game, I'd be thrilled.
Paul Michael Glaser
That's what's nice about directing a film and having it done: There's nothing more I can do about it. It's done. That's it. All I can do is let it go and hope that people are kind to it.
Tom Hanks
My directing opportunities have been awesome, and my acting opportunities, some have been great and some have not.
Milana Vayntrub
I always love directing because it gives me a chance to be with everyone 24/7.
Aline Brosh McKenna
