Working with Terry Gilliam was magic - I've been watching his films since I was little.
J. J. Abrams is a director that I've admired for a long time, from the very first scripts he wrote - including 'Regarding Henry,' which I was in.
I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.
I love film. I've always been enchanted by doing film. It's something I grew up watching - classics and directors I admire - so that's something I've always been passionate about.
I would even commit seven years to a film for Rajamouli.
Joe Mantello is the uber director. I wrote him a card tonight saying basically, 'Will you adopt me?'
I've worked with Len Wiseman before, on the 'Underworld' series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he's tremendous, as a man and as a director.
Karan Johar is absolutely an amazing director. I dream to work with Karan.
I'd like to think every director I've worked with has fallen in love with me, I know Dorothy Arzner did.
I wanted to be in 'The Emerald Forest.' I chased that one for six months before it all came about. I wanted to work with John Boorman!
God, I love John Cassavetes.
I have always wanted to work with Lingusamy, as he is a master of commercial cinema. I have always admired his etching of female characters.
I would love to meet or work with Sofia Coppola. Or Wes Anderson or Spike Jonze. I'd love to meet them. The way they film, it's all so geometric.
I've watched 'Being There' over 50 times, and every time I watch it, I love every frame. I just wish I had directed it myself.
I'd love to do a Michel Gondry film. That would be ideal! I'd love to do an Almodovar film; you know, I think he's very, very talented. I don't care that people say he's pretentious. So what? He's a good director; he can be pretentious.
I liked Truffaut a lot, I've felt a lot of admiration for his way to address the audience, and his storytelling.... La nuit américaine is adorable, and another film I like to see is L'enfant sauvage, with its fine humanism.
I have a real thing for Mexican directors. And I love Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
I loved Keaton. In fact, when I made the chase sequence in 'What's Up, Doc,' I said, 'This is a Buster Keaton chase.'
My father feels that Kammula garu has done magic. At home, he is the best critic. My mother and sister kind of like everything that I do.
I was a big fan of Luc Besson and obviously Ridley Scott.
Yes, there are directors I admire, the mavericks. Altman. There are many good directors.
I admire Ridley Scott, and I'm thrilled to be making a movie for him.
John Lee Hancock is someone that I had admired from afar. I think he is a wonderful director... in the tradition I would say both of Clint Eastwood and Frank Capra.
My favorite movies growing up were things like 'The Wizard of Oz,' but as I got older, I really began to admire people like Steven Soderbergh.
Takashi Miike is definitely one of my top five, you know?
