Film is a collaborative art form. If you're not being collaborative, you probably shouldn't be working in film. You don't do it on your own. People who understand that, cultivate that, get the best results.
More Quotes by Michael Pitt
There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.
All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.
I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.
People don't want to be plagued by not knowing-they want answers.
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.
