Bob Balaban Thinking Quotations

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.

And I think being a good director is being able to be completely tyrannical and you?ve got to be an absolute dictator while at the same time, you have to listen and see everything because it can all change on a dime.

I think some of the special effects in Close Encounters hold up better than the new more expensive special effects is because they were better actually.
