Because His Basic Idea That He Got

I Do Think That's So Much A Part Of What Being A Director Is - In Working With Actors - To Really Try And Be Sensitive To What Each Actor Needs To Get To Where He Wants To Be.

For Me, Someone Like The Eddie Murphy Character Doesn't Live Anywhere; He Lives On A Stage And When He's Not On The Stage He's On A Bus Getting To The Next Stage. You Don't Really Want To See Him At Home, Or All Those Things You Can Do In The Movie.

There Were Moments On The Set When The Depth Of The Cast Of 'dreamgirls' Was Almost Overwhelming To Me.

That Day I Think We Really Saw Each Other For The First Time. I Mean, Saw Beyond The Bag Of Bones On The Outside. You Take Away Her Pretty And My Plain And What You Get Underneath Is About The Same: A Couple Of Lost Girls Looking To Be Found.

But You Really - I Always Think That A Director Has Got To Adapt To Whatever The Needs Of The Actor Are. You Know, So If You Take Someone Like Eddie Murphy, Who Is Not A Big Fan Of Rehearsal. You Know He Comes Out Of Stand-up. He Comes - It's All About Capturing The Moment - In The Moment, You Know.
