Daisy Shah Quotes

Any filmmaking, any film is a collaborative process. There's always a lot of people working on things together.

Film is a collaborative medium, and I very much enjoy that.

As an actor, I can just show up and do my job. The success and failure of the film depends on team work.

Filmmaking is teamwork.

I love working with actors. I love visual things. I always intended to be a writer who directs and a director who writes.

Very often, things that people may think come from the writer, very often don't. There's a lot of cooks in the kitchen when it comes to making a movie. When you hear a line of dialogue that sounds kind of tinny, it's pretty easy to cite the screenwriter. But there's a lot of stuff that goes into making a movie.

I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.

When I work on a film, I always tend to relate to the crew.

It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.

The thing I really love about film is there's a really big sense of teamwork, and everyone has to do their job to the best of their ability to make the film work in the first place.

When you create a movie, you create something in your image.

I produced and starred in 'Wake the Riderless Horse,' a short film that my buddy wrote and directed.

I directed a short series for Hulu called 'Paloma,' and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting. It gave me a new bolt of energy in terms of my interest in filmmaking because it made me realize how collaborative filmmaking can be and also that you're not just limited to one job.

If you're writing a screenplay for a feature, you don't have any involvement with the casting process, the editing process, the set design, the costume design, or any of that stuff.

When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me. So when David Fincher comes along and wants to direct 'The Social Network,' when Bennett Miller comes along and wants to direct 'Moneyball,' or when Danny Boyle wants to direct 'Jobs'? Hallelujah. I want them directing it.

As a filmmaker, I'm a collaborator first.

Making a film - particularly what I think is a good film - is the result of a team of people, and the end result has many, many hands on it.

I'm not the best filmmaker, but on the sets, it seems like everybody is having fun.

I'm a big believer in building a crew. Movies are the most collaborative art form at the tend of the world, and it takes hundreds of people to make one. At the end of the day, I get the lion's share of praise or blame but everybody on the ground knows that it was all of us.
