“The cities of Italy are now deluged with droves of these creatures [tour groups], for they never separate, and you see them, forty in number, pouring along a street with their director - now in front, now at the rear, circling them like a sheep dog - and really the process is as like herding as may be.” MayProcessNumbersCitiesGroupsStreetsDogFrontsDirectorsCreaturesFortySheepPouring Author:Daniel J.

“We really enjoy that, having a relationship with writers, developing material and getting a director, actors, that we have kind of that family kind of as a group we're going to do it together mentality in a project.

“As an artist - I'm sure like most creative people - you have a kind of board of directors that you make your work for. It's a group of people that you have, these friends, and you want to know what they think. In a weird way, you're making the work for them.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayWantKindArtistCreativeGroupsDirectorsBoardsCreative PeopleBoard Of Directors Author:Robert Longo
“If there is one thing that, as a director, you don't want to be a part of, it's a group. It's the same thing with music. I don't want to be a part of a scene. Just leave me alone. It's just my nature, and it's nothing against the people that are in that group, but I just like to be left alone.” PeopleIfsWantLeftOne ThingGroupsSceneDirectorsLeaving MeMe AloneLeft AloneLeave Me AloneJust Leave Me Alone Author:Rob Zombie
“The biggest thing I've noticed with some of my favorite directors is their gift of sticking a bunch of strangers in a room together and making them comfortable and making them into a cohesive group.

“Noah Baumbach does more takes than any director I've ever worked with. He runs a very quiet set and he runs a very hard working set. He has such an intense level of dedication to what's happening that he cultivates a group of people around him who have an equal level of dedication. Nobody asks, "When is lunch?" That's just not part of our sets. It's complete immersion. He has a 'no cell phone' rule. Nobody checks their cell phone. Nobody reads on set. It's like, "If you're there, you're there. If you're not on board with that, don't work on this movie."” PeopleIfsDoeHardRunningAsksLevelsGroupsHard WorkQuietDirectorsEqualHappeningsPhonesIntenseChecksCellsBoardsLunchDedicationCell PhoneImmersion Author:Greta Gerwig
“One of the great things about this cast is that we've been able to take actors of relatively the same age group that would never usually meet. You know, like bridging the comedy/drama world that for some reason casting directors never really want to bridge or you get into one community and that's kind of it.” KnowsWorldWantKindReasonAgeAbleActorsCommunityComedyGroupsDramaDirectorsCastsGreat ThingsBridgesCastingCasting Directors Author:Alison Pill
