“Because I've made a film with such an amazing director as Tarantino, I'm much more conscious of working with good directors from now on, so that's what's important to me. I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.” WantMadeImportantBigsCareFilmDirectorsConsciousWhat's ImportantBig MovieTarantinoGood Directors Author:Melanie Laurent
“I've always been slightly self-conscious as an actor, and I guess that sometimes reads as pomposity. Starting when I was 30, I somehow gave off an impression at an audition that had them mentally put me in a three-piece suit or put an attache case in my hand. If there was a stiff-guy part, the director would brighten up when I came in.” IfsSelfSometimesHandsGuyThreeActorsCasesPiecesDirectorsConsciousStartingImpressionSuitsAuditionsSelf ConsciousPomposity Author:Charles Kimbrough
“Directors who have inspired me include Billy Wilder, Federico Fellini, lngmar Bergman, John Ford, Orson Welles, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Francis Ford Coppola and Ernst Lubitsch. In art school, I studied painters like Edward Hopper, who used urban motifs, Franz Kafka is my favorite novelist. My approach to film stems from my art background, as I go beyond the story to the sub-conscious mood created by sound and images.” ArtStoriesSchoolFilmUsedSoundDirectorsApproachConsciousInspiredMy FavoriteMoodBackgroundsPainterNovelistsStemUrbanArt SchoolStanleyHitchcockWilderMotifsBergman Author:David Lynch

“It's definitely been a conscious decision to seek out roles that are different, in any way, from anything that I've done, just to prove to myself that I can do it and to challenge myself. If I can, then great, it will open up those doors and just prove to other directors and peers that I am, in fact, available for things other than comedy.” IfsWayI CanDifferentDoneFactsCan DoChallengesDecisionRolesComedyDoorsDirectorsProveConsciousAvailablePeersI Can Do It Author:Malin Akerman
“I've never been conscious of having any real career plan, and I do not have a wish-list of actors, directors, screenwriters, or cameramen I'm hoping to work with.

“I think every movie I've made after 'Indiana Jones,' I've tried to make every single movie as if it was made by a different director, because I'm very conscious of not wanting to impose a consistent style on subject matter that is not necessarily suited to that style.
