Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust ultimately it is the director who holds the whole picture together in their head.

It's all about the director for me we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

I just think that I'll never have plastic surgery if I'm not in front of the camera. If you make your living selling this thing which is the way you look then maybe you do it. But trust me the minute I'm directing or producing and not starring I would never even think of it.

I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie because a lot of the things aren't there.You have to trust the director and react to nothing.

I never practice before I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them and after that it's about the director taking your hand.

I love to be directed. They can trust me and go.

It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge and I'll always give him my trust.

Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance - but then they forget to direct you.

A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes but I like them. It looks like cunning but you try to get extra things from them all the time by stealth by making them feel confident so they trust you and you can push a bit.

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
