More quotes by John Frankenheimer
The accolades usually come when you're dead or too old to get a job
John Frankenheimer
And in Hollywood, you know, everyone is an expert. Most of them are expert editors. They can't direct, they can't write, they can't act, but, by God, they all think they can edit.
John Frankenheimer
The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work.
John Frankenheimer
If you don't cast well, you can be in real trouble.
John Frankenheimer
There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world.

The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie.
John Frankenheimer
The importance of the assistant director cannot be overemphasized.
John Frankenheimer
But I really am very active in the choice of the line producer with the producer of record and the distributing company, because I've had some terrible, terrible experiences with some line producers, particularly in cable.

If you cast the picture correctly, you have a whole lot of leeway. You can make mistakes in other aspects but pull it off with the right actors.
John Frankenheimer
I look at actors very closely. It's not an accident when the actors excel.
John Frankenheimer
I've found that the more experts you have on a movie, the less control the director has.
John Frankenheimer
I think all great actors - and I don't classify myself as one of them, incidentally - but I think all great actors listen well and I've learned that from a lot of the very good actors with whom I've worked - to really listen to what people say.
John Frankenheimer
I think that you can't make a movie without a script. But you also can't make movies without actors. You also can't make movies without technicians. And there has to be just one person in charge of everybody, and to me that one person is the director.
John Frankenheimer
You have to be a great storyteller. And you have to master the tools that you have to tell the story which are, inorder of importance, the script, the actors and then thetechnical means.
John Frankenheimer
The whole thing of this business is to retain your enthusiasm and, in a sense, retain your innocence and try to practice as much humility as possible.
John Frankenheimer
Casting is 65 percent of directing.
John Frankenheimer
One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well
John Frankenheimer
And I kind of feel that I have a responsibility to the people that invest their time and money with me to show up on the set every day and do the best of which I am capable.
John Frankenheimer
I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.
John Frankenheimer
First, speaking for myself, I don't want to ever be in a position where I'm telling other directors how to make movies, because I don't think it's any of my business.
John Frankenheimer
