Craft Section | What Directors Are Saying
"Through the years I have learned sometimes painfully, that actors have to test the strength of their director. I'm not certai n whether it's out of a sense of insecurity or out of a need to challenge authority. To maintain control, a director must on occasion assert that authority. He must be certain about what he wants, but he must also be flexible and receptive to anything that will improve a scene. The tricky part is where to draw the line between being receptive and being weak."
