I am a director. I'm the one who can order men around.
I know know why ... if something not broke, don't fix it. Twelve Angry Men was the perfect movie. The cast was just the best cast you could possibly get together. The director was Sidney Lumet, the best director around. So why they made the remake I don't know.
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.
I cannot sit back and think that I am the best. I have to prove again and again that I am the most original music director around, even if I'm everyone's favorite whipping boy.
I observe that there are two entirely different theories according to which individual men seek to get on in the world. One theory leads a man to pull down everybody around him in order to climb up on them to a higher place. The other leads a man to help everybody around him in order that he may go up with them.
I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel okay about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.
In order to be a good director, you also need to be a good entrepreneur because the director is in charge of everything and everyone on the sets.
I joke around sometimes and say that the DP [director of photography] is like a shrink for the director, but there's some truth in there.
Yes, they allowed us to play around a lot because, like we said, the director's such a good comedy director.
As I look back on my first year as Director, I am more in awe of the men and women at CIA than ever before.
I don't take anything for granted from any director. I am just a slave of my director.
I am a director's actor. It is a director's medium, definitely. That doesn't mean I stop using my head.
I have worked very hard to shed away my chocolate boy image in order to get a tough look for this action entertainer. I am confident of my success and would love to dedicate the same to Director Balachandar sir.
But I am very confident that David Pleat, the director of football or whatever his title is now days - I am very confident that he, with all his media commitments around the world, knows the market place.
Good evening, ladies and gentleman. My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage and on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?
I pick different projects for different reasons. Usually, it's a combination of things. I admire the director, and I am interested in working with the director. Or, it's the cast. I can be moved by the story. The ideal situation is you love the director and you love the cast.
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.
