I believe that improvisation is really just a directorial tool. It's a writing tool.
I think my ultimate directorial style is 'play. ' In reference to theater, it's called a play - I believe in that noun, and the verb that goes with it.
Guy Ritchie is the worst screenwriter in the world, but, to be fair, he is not the worst director. He is only the worst director of the people who actually get to make movies. As we speak, there are human beings walking the Earth -- perhaps as many as a half dozen of them -- with less directorial talent, but they've been safely diverted into other activities.
I believe that improvisation is really just a directorial tool. It's a writing tool. It's not so much that the actors get to say whatever they want, whatever pops into their head. It's an opportunity to write the last draft of the screenplay as you're working on it.
I believe in the directorial point of view and directorial choices.
My film directorial career has been nothing but repetition of one failure after another!
When I was eleven, I got cast in the last directorial project of Christopher Reeve.
I had heard all sorts of stories about Woody Allen's directing - directorial approach. And some of them turned out to be myth. But, one of them was that he doesn't rehearse and another was that he doesn't really direct, if he doesn't like it. . . he cuts it out of the movie, or even replaces you.

I think as he gets older, Quentin [Tarantino] is growing more and more into his directorial side, but the writer in him won't stop the pen. I don't think he deserved a directing nod. Like I said, it's beautifully shot - it's cinematography, obviously, deserves a nomination - but he's not the camera man.
I don't have a directorial overview, which sometimes is very helpful.
I've been aware of the work I do as an actor being directorial in feel.
