President-elect [Donald] Trump has made a provocative choice for secretary of education. Betsy DeVos comes from a wealthy Michigan family. She is an advocate for school choice. That phrase means, in essence, directing public education money to charter schools, private schools or parochial schools.

Directing a film is a lot of work.
Fred Durst

The process of writing and directing drives you to such extremes that it's natural to feel an affinity with insanity. I approach that madness as something dangerous, and I'm afraid, but also I want to go to it, to see what's there, to embrace it. I don't know why, but I'm drawn.
Dario Argento
Image
(Sometimes when) someone's directing for the first time, they're afraid to include everyone - they have to prove they're the director.
Richard Gere
Image
Directing is a constant test of your communicative powers. You're constantly trying to explain people your vision of what you want and steer these tiny little details into a cohesive thing.
Tom Hanks
Image
Directing remains very psychological, and it takes a lot of time and reflection. When you're an actor, it takes less time, and you can express yourself physically.
Guillaume Canet

It's natural for any actor that segues into directing to be an actor's director. You know how to relate to the actors.

Directing is a terrible, anxious process. It's all collaboration, and if you have a dream, it's diluted very quickly by the slightest ineptness in any of your collaborators. They're supposed to help you, but too often they help you into your grave.
Mel Brooks

I think it seems like a natural progression to go into directing, and I hope to explore more of it, because it's very exciting and a really good way to collide all the things that you've known and experienced in the business and put them all into one.

I don't think about the gender thing very much. But when I speak at schools, I've had female students say to me afterwards, I never envisioned myself being a director, since I've never seen women do it. But after seeing me, they can picture themselves directing, so maybe we'll see more female directors.

People still make New Year's resolutions? Wow. I figured those were pointless once I perfected myself by directing, writing, and acting in Garden State. I guess it makes sense, though. It gives people a chance to hope that they can become as great as me someday.
Zach Braff

My first pilot gig in fact my first job in television was 'Freaks and Geeks,' and the experience of directing that pilot was probably the single most formative of my directing life.

I don't necessarily recommend directing your husband or wife in a film, but if you have to do it, you have to do it.

Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.
Orson Welles

Acting for me is not a bad habit like smoking that I must make an effort to quit. I love acting I love directing.

I have stories that I'd like to maybe one day consider directing, but you need a lot of time to write and put it together.
Juliette Binoche
Image
It was great. I mean, it's a blast directing underwater stuff.

I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.
Jeff Bridges
Image
I pretty much know that directing means that you have to answer about a thousand questions every day and you have to answer them quick.
Colin Hanks
Image
The whole art of politics consists in directing rationally the irrationalities of men.

Great ambition, the desire of real superiority, of leading and directing, seems to be altogether peculiar to man, and speech is the great instrument of ambition.
