“I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day.” NeedsLooksLongMadeChallengesDecisionNiceGoes OnDirectorsSheerMarathonStamina Author:Michael Urie
“Children of Men is a solemn, haunting picture, but it's also a thrilling one, partly because of the sheer bravado with which it's made. It left me feeling more fortified than drained. [Director Alfonso] Cuarón, the most openhearted of directors, prefers to give rather than take away.” MenGivingChildrenMadeFeelingsLeftDirectorsMade ItSheerThrillingHauntingSolemnDrainedBravadoChildren Of Men Author:Stephanie Zacharek
“I always enjoy working with an international crew and director. But on the set of a Hollywood action film - now that's a whole other world.

“Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the directors eyes, you get it right does not allow for very much creative freedom... In terms of sheer adrenaline, film has absolutely nothing on theater.” DoeRealEyeFilmFunTermActingCreativeDirectorsTheaterSheerAbsolutely NothingAdrenalineCreative FreedomFilm Acting Author:Mara Wilson
“There's nothing really original. Alien was a B-movie. Five directors passed on it before me. Because I was into Heavy Metal, I read it, and thought, "Wow, I want to do this." I was on a plane to Hollywood in 22 hours. It was a B-movie and was elevated to an A-plus movie by sheer good taste.” WantHoursFiveTasteDirectorsHollywoodOriginalsHeavyAliensPlanesPlusWowMetalsSheerGood TasteHeavy Metal Author:Ridley Scott
“Most directors prefer to direct everything themselves. I thought I could on Lord Of The Rings, but very quickly found out that the sheer scale prevented it.” FoundLordDirectorsDirectRingsScalesSheer Author:Peter Jackson
