Hollywood Directors Quotes

I worked with the best directors - Martin Scorsese, John Huston, David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock was great.

From John Huston to Fred Zinnemann and Richard Fleischer and all those great American directors.

I don't know if I wanted to be Spielberg; I would never say that.

Nancy has her vision and she's a formidable force to be reckoned with, and that's similar to most of the male directors I've worked with. The only difference is probably inbetween scenes, gossiping with Diane Keaton, Frances McDormand and Nancy Meyers about who's had Botox and who hasn't.

It was so soon after I'd had my son and I really wasn't planning on going back to work for a while. I will walk over hot coals to work with Bill Condon on anything, the experience that you have with him is just too good...

But I also directed Jack Barrymore and Ronald Colman and James Stewart, to name a few.

I think the Wachowskis are two of my favorite people on the planet; they're the best.
