Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance - but then they forget to direct you. ↗

I think you've got to talk to the director, see the director's films and recognise that it's important that the work fits right in and see if as part of the movie. ↗

You need the words, you need the script, you need the material, you need the commitment, you need the passion, it's like we depend on writers, we depend on producers, directors depend on us and once things are in the divine order as they happen. ↗

Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart. ↗

I go into a young film director's office these days and he says, 'Hey man, I know who you are. I grew up watching 'McHale's Navy'. And I think, 'Oh boy, here we go again'. ↗

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised. ↗
