I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.

James Cameron

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.

James Cameron

The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors.

James Cameron

A director's job is to make something happen and it doesn't happen by itself. So you wheedle, you cajole, you flatter people, you tell them what needs to be done. And if you don't bring a passion and an intensity to it, you shouldn't be doing it.
