I have always been a director's actress.
From my earliest days as an actress, I had always been drawn to learning the director's job.
As an actress I knew I had to control my weight gain somehow as any director or producer would like to sign in a svelte actress.
As an actress you can participate, you can be a co-author, help the director. But I always wanted to be able to make the big decisions.
I always enjoy working with Aparna Sen. She is a dedicated and talented actress, writer, director.
But the privileges that one has enjoyed and exploited can sometimes turn against you: nobody thinks of you as a director, you are always an actress.
Bette Davis taught Hollywood to follow an actress instead of the actress following the camera, and she's probably the best movie actress there's ever been.

My director Shakun Batra, I believe, is one of the finest in the industry and he has been the dream director I've always wanted to work with.
My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress.
I've always laughed at the term "female director" or even "black director." A director's a director.
My dad always told me that I should have been an actress, but that wasn't really my main focus. I really love to be the director, the person in charge, making my fantasy come to life. But if I love someone else's fantasy, I'll definitely help them bring theirs to life, too.
I've been very lucky and been able to work, as an actress, but I'm definitely a working actress. I get a script, I audition, and then I pray.
It's interesting in seeing when I'm talking to men in particular and telling them I'm an actress versus a director and the different turn the conversation will take when I say I'm a director. The level of respect is very interesting.
My father was a director, and he used to always tell me, "You should be an actress." When I was 17, he gave me a job so that I'd be in the union.
For me, modelling has been an advantage because if I hadn't been modelling, I would never have been spotted as an actress. I didn't have any intention of becoming an actress.
I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.
