Some people say it's scarier to direct the people you work with; not me, I'm a team guy.
I start with actors that I know personally or I know their work, and there are things about their work or their presence or their own personality that make a character, that exaggerates some qualities and suppresses other qualities. It's always a real collaboration for me.
The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.
