What I think happens, and that you have to acknowledge though, is that a director uses a book as a launching pad for his own work and that's always very flattering.

Quote by Katherine Dunn about flattering, work, contentment

I read the script and try not to bring anything personal into it. I make notes, talk to the director and we decide what kinds of shades should be in the character.

Quote by Linda Fiorentino about celebrity, stars, contentment

Man Without a Face was a good stepping-off point, but it wasn't without its own set of difficulties. The main ingredient for me as a director on that film was preparation, and that's what I carried over to this one.

Quote by Peter Fonda about things

Every director is so different from every other one.

I just want to continue finding actors' directors.

Quote by Peter Fonda about actors

If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it and have it work.

Quote by Peter Fonda about actors, writers, knowledge, work

Quote by Salma Hayek about film, woman

They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.

Quote by Salma Hayek about film, woman

The video directors, they're all good, I guess. But they tend... they tend to be real control freaks because they want every shot perfect and they want your performance perfect and they want to give you every line reading.

Before I went off to North Carolina, I was reading a lot of directors' books, among them my father's autobiography. Because there's a very good chapter about the technicalities of filmmaking in that book.
