I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.
Working with [Robert] De Niro taught me a lot about being an actor's director.
[ Gareth Edwards] never wanted to force anything that wasn't true. He's very much an actor's director, and it was loose.
I'm a huge fan of the director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and his work, and I knew he was going to be an amazing actor's director, based on the performances that I saw in his movies.
Richard Marquand, on Jedi, was very much an actor's director.
Whether I'm writing the script, or someone else writes the initial draft, I'm always an actor's director first. I always try to listen to them a lot and try to put their voices into their character.
Jack Bender is a real actor's director. Because he was an actor, and because he directed theater, he really enjoys that process.
