You spend enough time on set as an actor and it's great when a director was at some point an actor or understands acting. they're able to finesse performances out of you that a lot directors can't get.

More From Ian Somerhalder

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.
Government Care Wells
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
I think one third of my work is with first-time directors because i think i should, you know? really, the difference between a first-time director and a second- or third-time director - i mean there's no director who makes enough movies anyway - but if they're talented, they have it. and there is no movie that is perfect.
Mean Thinking Differences
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
Directors don't get to see other directors at work - they're the only one on the set. i've met directors who've asked me what another filmmaker is like. so, there's probably nobody better placed to make all the comparisons and to pick up stuff than an actor.
Directors Actors Stuff
I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like john ford and fritz lang, tod browning, and also some very modern directors like the coen brothers. the directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. they do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.

Brother Secret Spokes
These are the things before me. and as i stand here at the door of glory, i look behind me for the last time. i look upon the history of men, which i have learned from the books, and i wonder. it was a long story, and the spirit which moved it was the spirit of man’s freedom. but what is freedom? freedom from what? there is nothing to take a man’s freedom away from him, save other men. to be free, a man must be free of his brothers. that is freedom. this and nothing else.
