A director must push his actors to the utmost limit to get everything possible out of each scene - without being corny or sentimental or going overboard.

The slightest thing can ruin a scene, but you must be willing to take chances.

There's no limit possible to the expansion of each one of us.

You must push everything to the absolute limit or else life will be boring. People will be boring.

I do think that's so much a part of what being a director is - in working with actors - to really try and be sensitive to what each actor needs to get to where he wants to be.

I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.
