You can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. but there's no class for comedy. you have to be born with it. god has to give you this gift.
Race Class Piano
Most directors, i discovered, need to be convinced that the screenplay they're going to direct has something to do with them. and this is a tricky thing if you write screenplays where women have parts that are equal to or greater than the male part. and i thought, 'why am i out there looking for directors?'—because you look at a list of directors, it's all boys. it certainly was when i started as a screenwriter. so i thought, 'i'm just gonna become a director and that'll make it easier.'
Writing Boys Directors
As actors, we have the opportunity to work with many directors. directors only work with themselves and other actors. they never know what it is like to work with another director. so that relationship that one has with a director is entirely always the king.
Kings Opportunity Directors
I'm very old-school. i like a director to direct me. i like to be the actor. i'm not particularly fond of the hybrid writer-director, or actor-director. writers, directors, actors are all such very different people. i think it's unusual that two of those people are in one human.
Thinking People Different
With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.
Kind Film Mediocre
What i learned about acting, from my experiences directing, is why so many producers and directors don't like actors. you go through all of this work securing a location, figuring out how to get electricity there, how to get trucks parked where they need to be, and where catering is going to come from. and if the actors don't come up with some magic, it actually didn't matter. that creates a lot of animosity towards the actors.

Art is magic... but how is it magic? in its metaphysical development? or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? in truth, the latter is impossible without the former. if creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic.
