I think what makes a good actor's director is somebody who understands what I'm doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive. ↗
First, speaking for myself, I don't want to ever be in a position where I'm telling other directors how to make movies, because I don't think it's any of my business. ↗
I think of myself as a problem-solver. I want to go in and help the director and the writer to get the best they can out of the text they're working with. ↗
