Director

Nationality is a very curious thing. The blood is Scots and the temperament is Scots, but I am, in fact, 100% American.

The great directors managed to dissolve and disappear into the work. They make other people look good.

The best way to learn how to work with actors is to have had experience of trying to act yourself - it will teach you humility if nothing else.

Children are often better actors than adults because they have a greater capacity for believing in a situation.
