A Quote by Cliff Curtis

As an actor, you've got to have faith in the director's vision, that the director has a vision for this that is greater than the critics say.

An actor is nothing without the vision of the director. The director needs to have a vision that will cross boundaries, that makes the audience sit on the edge of their seats and that pushes the envelope.

Manoj Bajpayee

If you have a vision or if you believe the director has a vision, then at least you've got something to talk about, something to try and head to and I think that's mandatory for every director to have to do a good job.

Kurt Russell

In films, you have to follow the director's vision. Filmmaking is a director's medium. So everything happens as per the script and his vision.

Amit Trivedi

When I do a film, usually I work from my director. That's my boss. The director is interpreting the writer's vision, and we all interpret it, and they create their own vision as well.

Juliette Lewis

As an actor, you're always at the service of somebody else's vision. In a play, it's more of the director's vision, and he or she's got their hands on you all the way up to opening night, and if it's a film, there are even more people.

Jeff Daniels

I believe that the director is really the soul. It is a collaborative effort, but the director is the one who needs to have that vision. It could be a great script, but it starts from there. You need to have good material, at least, but if you don't have someone with vision, it's just words.

Michelle Yeoh

The first thing you do as a producer is you try to understand the director's vision in as deeply a way as you can. Sometimes, you end up with a director that has more vision or sometime they have less vision. You hope that they have more. In the case where they have more, you need to understand it in the deepest way you can.

Suzanne Todd

Filmmaking is a creative process so there is a lot of collaboration that happens on set between an actor and director, but at the end of the day, we're there to actualize the director's vision and things happen organically.

Aamir Khan

I think what makes a good actor's director is somebody who understands what I'm doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive.

Matt Damon

You have to accept that the moment you hand a script to a director, even if you've written it as an original script, it becomes his or her movie. That's the way it has to be because the pressures on a director are so staggering and overwhelming that if he or she doesn't have that sort of level of decision making ability, that sort of free reign, the movie simply won't get done. It won't have a vision behind it. It may not be your vision as a screenwriter, but at least it will have a vision.

Victor Levin

As an actor, we can only do what the director wants. Only the director has a vision of the entire film.

Mohanlal

I am proud to say I'm a director's composer. People do method acting, I do method composing. I like to get into the skin of the character and go deep into the director's vision.

Amit Trivedi

I have my pride. I'm a director. I'm not going to go and recreate some other director's vision.

Fede Alvarez

When you do a rewrite, it's really about serving the director's vision, and what the director needs to go into that script.

Kelly Marcel

Every director works differently but one thing's important: they must have a vision. If they don't have a vision I don't care how they work.

Kurt Russell

I think each character is different for me, but I am a director's actor. So if I get the right vision and right guidance from my director, I think sky is the limit for me.
