“I definitely want to direct. This is just another learning experience for me, to get a chance to hear the questions and concerns the directors have, some of their fears. It's a team sport.

“There's not one way to direct a film, there are so many different ways to do it. Everything affects the way it turns out in the end. Even the smallest things. You don't want to really acknowledge that, because you want to believe that you are the only creative asset as a director. You want to believe you're the only one. But I really feel that everyone teams up and everybody really affects everything. Actually, it's the closest I will get to playing in a band.” WayWantFeelsBelieveDifferentEndsFilmTurnsCreativeTeamBandDirectorsDirectOne WayAcknowledgeDifferent WaysAssetsClosestSmallest Author:Lukas Moodysson

“If a director brings a guy to their movie who does improv, they've got to let him do what he does - otherwise it's like bringing Michael Jordan to your basketball team and telling him to just pass the ball and don't shoot.” IfsDoeGuyTeamDirectorsBasketballBallsJordanBasketball Team Author:J.

“Most directors do work in pairs. There's usually some form of this, sometimes it literally comes down to you both show up in the morning and one of you is like, "I'm a little tired and overwhelmed today, so I might need you to just be a little step ahead of me and speak with more confidence because I'm not quite there."

Wes Anderson is one of those.” ThinkingStillsIdeasStoriesTeamReadyDirectorsPagesBreathingStrictGears Author:Susan Sarandon
