“It's important for a director to provide as much information, especially when we're working with things that we have to conceive out of thin air. You can't just expect an actor to understand: 'Oh, there's a dinosaur coming at you". OK, so I'm going to automatically know how big it is and what it sounds like? I need details. How close does he get to me? How tall is he? What will the impact be of his cry when he's screaming at me or when he's blowing smoke or air in my face?” KnowsNeedsDoeImportantBigsFacesActorsSoundKnow HowAirCryInformationDirectorsImpactDetailsSmokeTallDinosaursThin AirBlowing Smoke Author:Zoe Saldana
“I don't feel one could even remotely touch the idea of intimidating others, but because I've understood the other side of the experience, I will occasionally, if I smell that could even be in the air for a few minutes, say to the director, "Please, you must tell me anything you want. Please say all the things you think might be terribly hurtful like, 'That was boring.'"” IfsThinkingWantFeelsIdeasMightSidesAirMinutesPleaseDirectorsUnderstoodBoringSmellIntimidatingHurtful Author:Kenneth Branagh
“I'm always in awe of directors because they're just holding so much stuff in the air. They've got so many decisions that they need to be making and they have to have the complete overall look of what the piece of artwork is.” NeedsLooksStuffDecisionPiecesAirDirectorsAweArtwork Author:Dominic Cooper
“Hours is an understatement. I honestly don't know how the director and editor decide each week what actually makes it on the air. There's of course director and cast commentary on each episode on the DVD.
