- The happiness of your talent and getting a

great performance from them is all about quality.

It's the quality of your relationship

as director with them, quality communication

that is clear and concise, and remembering

that the quality of the production

is more important than your ego.

When it's time for production, many directors

have what I call a death grip on their artistic vision.

I used to be that type of director.

I used to think there was only one way

a script could be done, only one way

a scene could go, or one way that

I saw in my head that a character could

be delivered, but I found out that I was wrong.

In reality, there's a lot of ways

that all of these things can come to light

because of the ideas others bring to

your production and you need to invite that in.

You need to let go of the illusion of control.

It is, in fact, a myth.

You can threaten other people, but you can

never actually control them, nor should you want to.

What this does is removes the pressure from you.

You don't have to be the only

one with all the answers.

You're working towards a goal,

that doesn't mean you have to know

all the possible routes to get there.

Don't worry, as director or producer,

you're still in charge.

You have the great ability to choose

the best of all of those ideas.

Confidence isn't a bad thing, it's a useful thing.

It is required that you be confident

in your answers to those questions

that we talked about in a previous movie,

but it's not the same as being in control.

Working in a collaborative space

versus a controlled space will ensure

that your relationship with your talent

is a quality one and not a superficial one

and your production will only benefit from it.
