“I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.” ThinkingIdeasDifferentCharacterActorsFunSeeingDirectorsPassionateDifferent Ideas Author:Elizabeth Reaser
“I think bringing depth to characters means really needing to find out who this girl is, what is she passionate about, what makes her tick, what gets her going in life. So I did a lot of backstory for who she was and sometimes it comes across screen and sometimes it doesn't. You never know, because you're not the director, but you can only do your work and hope that it somehow subtly is infiltrated in that. But I think the characters I've played for the most part have depth, just not in the way that you think they do.” ThinkingKnowsWayMeanSometimesCharacterGirlDirectorsDepthPassionateScreensTickThis Girl Author:Amy Smart
“The truth is I like the crazy ones better than the well-behaved ones normally because they tend to be the passionate ones. They never come after you if you're holding up your end.

“Ferguson, as a manager, and Ken, as a director, are very similar. One's a great manager, the other a great director, but both have a lot of humanity and a lot of humility. They always give you the energy... with Ferguson when we played a game it was like it was his first game - he's so passionate and gives you ambition every time. And Ken works the same way - they're very similar.” WayGivingFirstsHumanityGamesEnergyHumilityDirectorsAmbitionPassionateManagersGreat MenFergusonGreat Managers Author:Eric Cantona
“It`s probably fair to say I have taken myself too seriously on some jobs. I`m sure I`m more guilty of being difficult than I`d like to remember. I don`t regret my desires; I`ve regretted the way I would communicate my desires. Maybe I`ve lost a job because of some rumor, I doubt it. But nobody good that I`ve worked with has ever said anything negative about me, because we`ve never had a negative experience. By good, I mean directors who do their homework, people that are passionate, crazy, never sleep, and do like I do and just go after it.” PeopleWayMeanSaidJobsRememberDesireLostDifficultSleepTakenDoubtCrazyRegretDirectorsNegativeFairsPassionateCommunicateGuiltyRumorHomeworkDon't RegretNever SleepNegative Experiences Author:Val Kilmer

“Also, to get to work with serious filmmakers on this kind of a movie, has elevated these movies. We were so lucky, as actors, that the crew of directors that we've gotten to work with are totally really super high-end filmmakers. But, Bill Condon had a vision and it was so specific. He's really passionate. I think he's taken the story to another level.” ThinkingKindEndsStoriesActorsLevelsVisionTakenSeriousLuckyDirectorsBillsPassionateFilmmakerCrewSo Lucky Author:Elizabeth Reaser
“Among today's directors I'm of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese, and Coppola, even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh - they all have something to say, they're passionate, they have an idealistic attitude to the filmmaking process.

Another great couple of examples of the strength of American cinema is American Beauty and Magnolia.” IfsSeemsTodayFilmCoursesProcessAttitudeExampleCoupleDirectorsPassionateCinemaFilmmakingImpressedTrafficIdealisticScorseseMagnolias Author:Ingmar Bergman
