Directing Quotes

Without a great man writing and directing for me, I realised I was a mediocre movie star at best Picture Quote #1

Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller Picture Quote #1

I did all my directing when I wrote the screenplay. It was probably harder for a regular director. He probably had to read the script the night before shooting started Picture Quote #1

Taxation of earnings from labor is on a par with forced labor. Seizing the results of someone’s labor is equivalent to seizing hours from him and directing him to carry on various activities Picture Quote #1

I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn’t as hard as everyone says it is Picture Quote #1

Producing is the hardest of the three because there is almost no closure. Every time you solve a problem, another one pops up. Directing is second, and acting is the most fun Picture Quote #1

The great, rewarding thing about directing is that you’re overseeing the whole thing. When you’re an actor, you’re just one department Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that one can say about acting, writing, producing or directing that cannot be revoked in the next breath. Nothing is immutable. The logic of one year is a folly of the next Picture Quote #1

Whether it’s acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It’s all about editing Picture Quote #1

Directing, I just feel comfortable. I know what I want. I know what I want from my crew. I lead by example. I have limitless energy as a director Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons I became a writer is that, unlike starting a band, directing movies, or acting in a theatrical production, you can do it alone. Your success and failure depend entirely on yourself Picture Quote #1

Proper respect to others is the most prudent rule of directing the measure of reverence due to ourselves Picture Quote #1

Engineering is the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man Picture Quote #1

It is better to give love. Hatred is a low and degrading motion and is so poisonous that no man is strong enough to use it safely. The hatred we think we are directing against some person or thing or system has a devilish way of turning back upon us. When we seek revenge we administer slow poison to ourselves. When we administer affection it is astonishing what magical results we obtain Picture Quote #1

The horror genre has been for me an original way of taking an explicit visual and visionary approach to directing Picture Quote #1

Zooms are lazy closeups. And too many people hang their hats on video assist; it’s a way to avoid too much. Video assist helps people dissociate from the scene that they are directing. Pretty soon the director will be directing all the way from his apartment Picture Quote #1

The anarchist conclusion is that every kind of human activity should begin from what from what is local and immediate, should link in a network with no centre and no directing agency, hiving off new cells as the original grows Picture Quote #1

If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I’d choose the directing job Picture Quote #1

What I like most about directing is creating a world more so than anything. To me, the music is the wrapping paper on that world Picture Quote #1

Why not directing? There’s no big mystery about it. It’s – well, it’s just having a point of view and – and a certain amount of selection and taste Picture Quote #1

Directing ain’t about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn’t want to go to film school. I didn’t know what the point was. The fact is, you don’t know what directing is until the sun is setting and you’ve got to get five shots and you’re only going to get two Picture Quote #1

I have always added dance to my productions. When I was directing theatre, I added dance sequences where they didn’t exist in the play. I think dance is the ultimate form of expression Picture Quote #1

If you are not consciously directing your life, you will lose your footing and circumstances will decide for you Picture Quote #1

Ultimately one has to pity these poor souls who know every secret about writing, directing, designing, producing, and acting but are stuck in those miserable day jobs writing reviews. Will somebody help them, please? Picture Quote #1

Often actors ask me if I think they should go on trying to be an actor.I have the same answer for everyone who asks: If you have a choice and could reasonably be happy doing something else, by all means go at once and do something else. Acting or writing or directing in the theatre or television or screen is only for the irrecoverably diseased, those who are so smitten with the need that there is no choice Picture Quote #1

Normally when people ask me what I do I say I’m an actor, and that’s what I always wanted to be and that’s the way I approach work even when I’m directing it Picture Quote #1

All the theories that acting is reacting to imaginary circumstances as though they are real, and directing is turning psychology into behavior, those are all stabs at something that can’t be taught. All the great actors can’t talk about what they do, and they don’t want to begin to talk about it. They just do it Picture Quote #1

By directing combat and war pieces, I could experience catharsis and successfully avoid committing a murder in real life. In this sense, I’m really grateful for that because I was conscious that I had such homicidal traits, to be honest Picture Quote #1

Magic is all about directing attention. If I didn’t want you to look at my right hand then I don’t look at it Picture Quote #1
