I've worked with so few female directors.

- Andrea Riseborough

Directors are never in short supply of girlfriends.

- Bob Fosse

I have great respect for directors who know what they're doing.

I've worked with some really great directors, and I'm really choosy about them because they're telling the story at the end of the day.

I've worked with a lot of directors who really don't have a sense of what the hell they want.

I've worked with very few directors who've asked of me what I asked of myself.

My whole M.O. in my 20s was being in as many different types of films as you can. Working with as many different types of directors as you can. I think, in part, that's what I wanted to do as an actor.

When we say there's a dearth of women directors, it's not that there's a lack of women who direct: it's a lack of opportunities and access for women to direct and be supported in that.

I've constantly done my best to get the best material I can get with the best directors I can get to direct me.

I know that some actors and directors like to have intensity on set. I don't, particularly. Certainly, if they want that, that's fine, but I can't work like that.

I like so many different directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Jarmusch, Gus van Sant, Woody Allen and the greats like Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and among current filmmakers von Trier, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai.
