Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire. ↗

I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting. ↗

I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do. ↗

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic. ↗

The original Return of the Living Dead, I was attached to direct it, and I wrote the story. Production was delayed. In the meantime I went to London to do Lifeforce. ↗

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. ↗

I love the incredible variety of demands directing makes on you, from the entrepreneur to the hustler to the deal-maker to the writer; to directing actors and the camera and working with music, sound, marketing and promotion. It uses so many sides of your brain. ↗

I think directors can become overly infatuated by gilt and gold, and the word 'lavish' and everything being magnificent. ↗

I can't stand directors who try to micro-manage everything. When it happens these days I just walk off set, saying if they don't like the way I'm doing it they can get someone else. ↗

I know that some actors and directors like to have intensity on set. I don't, particularly. Certainly, if they want that, that's fine, but I can't work like that. ↗
