An actor is an instrument. One needs to control them.

Matching character and actor is what a good director does.

I don't want actors to know anything. The more they are lost, the better they play.

Each role demands the right actor. To play an artist, one must be an artist.

For working with non-professional actors, you have to have this particular desire to work with people who are reluctant to play in a movie. I like this relationship. I'm like a recruiter, an employment agency giving someone employment.

The actor already comes with emotions to the scene: fear, the fear of being in front of the camera. It is this fear that spurs the emotion of the scene. I too am afraid; I don't know exactly what I am searching for. On the set, we are all participating in this fear together.
