To me there’s only one position you can take as an actor. That’s to get into such a financial position you can afford to say no. Integrity is one thing, but you have to be able to afford good taste.

Well, actors get very frustrated with giving control to other people. They have their own ideas and wants for their characters. Warren Beatty once told me that he thought actors ended up directing out of frustration. If you have a strong sense of how to communicate a film, you should direct.
