So I've had really great assistant directors for my last seven movies.
One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well
The importance of the assistant director cannot be overemphasized.
The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie.
I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.
And I kind of feel that I have a responsibility to the people that invest their time and money with me to show up on the set every day and do the best of which I am capable.
