“I discovered very soon, especially for movies, because I started in theater, that every director has his own universe. You have to be free enough to try to understand what he wants from you. Especially when that director has a tremendous personality. And I'm talking about people like Pedro Almodovar and Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen. And you have to adapt. If you don't adapt to them, you are off the thing.” PeopleIfsWantTryingEnoughUniverseTalkingPersonalityDirectorsTheaterWoodyQuentinTarantinoAlmodovar Author:Antonio Banderas

“Sometimes the personality or just the particular process of a director can really affect your quality of life as a composer in terms of how much time you spend away from your family or the amount of time you spend doing the type of work that you maybe don't consider as fun to do as other type of work.” SometimesFunProcessTermQualityParticularTypePersonalityAmountDirectorsOur FamilyComposerQuality Of Life Author:Christophe Beck
“I've always been passionately in love with movies, to such a degree that even as a young person of about nineteen or twenty I thought maybe I would try to become a film director. The reason I didn't do it was because I felt I didn't have the right personality. At that time in my life, I was mortally shy.” TryingPersonsReasonFilmYoungFeltPersonalityDirectorsDegreesTwentiesShyRight PersonNineteenFilm Directors Author:Jonathan Lethem
“I feel that I have a certain amount of experience and I'm still learning so much. But a director's job is so vast; they have so much to do with the preparation. You have to be great with all kinds of personalities and you have to be very patient, there's a lot of skills I'm not sure if I have.

“It's entirely to do with personality, I think. There are good directors who talk a lot, bad directors who talk a lot, and good directors who don't say much and vice-versa. It just depends on whether people respond to that personality and whether people have a willingness to do something for them.” PeopleThinkingPersonalityDependsDirectorsVicesWillingnessVice VersaGood Directors Author:Colin Firth
“On a lot of shows that I've done, we had the same directors, which was cool. But then, it's also great to do shows where the director changes every week because you get to see all these different personalities and see what you like dealing with better, as an actor. But, Jodie was amazing.” DifferentDoneShowsActorsWeekPersonalityDirectors Author:Laura Prepon
“I don't really think I have the personality. I am not very external. I don't want to dance on the table and do impressions. So I think that the way I approach it is really loving story. That's my first love - the words. The words and the story and how to create images. I guess I come at that as a director. I think that's much more in my personality to be a director, so that's kind of informed my acting.” ThinkingWayWantFirstsKindStoriesActingPersonalityDirectorsApproachTablesImpressionFirst Love Author:Jodie Foster
