I consider myself more of a writer than I do a director.

Lena Waithe

I don't really consider myself a horror director or a violent director at all.

Ryuhei Kitamura

A strong film director does leave you to your devices. A strong director allows you to be free and you trust that he's there and he will tell you if you've gone too far. A strong director allows you to be much more experimental and take greater chances than a director who isn't secure within himself.

Elizabeth Taylor

I always want to challenge myself as a writer. I consider myself more of a writer than I do a director.

Lena Waithe

I think the director is becoming more important. To work under rushed conditions, you need to have an extremely professional director. If the director's good than the end result will be good.

Glenn Ford

I hope that in another way we can move the need to say, instead of being a Black director, or a woman director, or a French director that I'm just a director.

Kari Skogland

From my side, I don't put pressure on the director to cater to a certain image. I am happy to do different films, and I have to stick by my director. I like to completely surrender myself to the director - that way, I think, I don't get to do the similar roles.

Suriya

I've always laughed at the term "female director" or even "black director." A director's a director.

Rami Malek

If a director is really a director, I think he's interested in more than one thing.

Edward Zwick

I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.

Charles S. Dutton

I like working with a first time director. I'm more likely to work with a first time director than I am a second time director.

Peter Sarsgaard

So many features at Sundance seemed to be powered more on the director's need to be a director than any particular story.

Jill Soloway

I'm the first Icelandic director who started working on U.S. movies. There are others behind me now, but it's like when Bjork opened the door for Icelandic musicians to work abroad. We're such a closed-off country, but Bjork broke the spell. And I'm glad it was a woman who did it. She showed us we could break this barrier.

Film’s thought of as a director’s medium because the director creates the end product that appears on the screen. It’s that stupid auteur theory again, that the director is the author of the film. But what does the director shoot-the telephone book? Writers became much more important when sound came in, but they’ve had to put up a valiant fight to get the credit they deserve.

Billy Wilder

Usually in features, I'm the lead. I consider the director the captain, but I consider myself the first mate, and it's up to me to keep in contact with the heart of the crew.
