Casting is everything. I put a huge amount of work into casting, and consistently across my career, I am most proud of my bold choices I made in casting.

Doug Liman

For me, when you're casting known talent, you're not just casting their performances. You're casting the public's relationship with them, their public images to a degree.

Jen McGowan

Because there is less female storytelling, especially motherhood storytelling, there has been immense pressure on my storytelling to represent more people, and to do so in a sort of unrealistic way.

Catherine Reitman

If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew.

Catherine Keener

The most exciting part of the casting process was casting out of Israel, which was a really unique process, mainly done remotely from California, looking at casting tapes.

Tim Kring

Pilots are useful. You just learn things during a pilot - the piece of casting that just wasn't right or things about the storytelling nature.

Kevin Reilly

There's racist casting, and there is normal casting. Normal casting, to me, is a process that strives for representation and, in many cases, strives to simply portray the world as it actually is instead of as falsely non-inclusive. And sadly, sometimes that involves removing the whitewash that exists on history.

Shonda Rhimes

I have a very simple philosophy when it comes to casting, and it really is casting the best person for the role.

Rob Marshall

Casting is an art, and if you're interested in people, like I am, casting is essential.

Sebastian Lelio

Foremost is the casting; you need convincing faces. Most of our films suffer from casting.

Shoojit Sircar

I like interesting casting, and casting people who you think might be slightly different in parts.

Peter Kay

I think one of the things when you're casting children is you're also casting their parents.

Morgan Freeman

I can't even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars.

Jenny McCarthy

I randomly went to a casting session in my hometown in North Carolina, and the casting director introduced me to my manager. I really lucked into it!

Maddie Hasson

I started casting. I cast music videos, but I kept getting fired from jobs because I was iconoclastic in my ways of casting.

Lee Daniels

The storytelling mind is allergic to uncertainty, randomness, and coincidence. It is addicted to meaning. If the storytelling mind cannot find meaningful patterns in the world, it will try to impose them. In short, the storytelling mind is a factory that churns out true stories when it can, but will manufacture lies when it can’t.

Jonathan Gottschall
