#director

I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema. ↗

I don't think anyone can really make up their mind and say, Now I'm going to be a director. ↗

I'm a director's actor; I'm a storyteller's actor. ↗

I fear other actors who are not prepared. And I fear directors who are afraid. ↗

Indeed, the actor's lot is a much harder one than that of the director's, from one simple standpoint: The actor has to play the eight shows a week. ↗
