Have you ever had a confflict with a colleague in a process of shootSteven Lewis Simpsoning a movie? How was it resolved?
 
Generally
the only issues tend to be dealing with the personalities of the
occasional actor who is difficult. Always it depends on his personalitie
in terms of how you choose to resolve it.

If I ask your friends to describe you, what would they say?

Tenacious, funny, serious, compassionate. 
 
What qualities do you feel a succesful artist should have?

Directors
need a far broader range of qualities compared to most artist. The
greatest painter or musician or actor can be crazy but produce great
work. Directors need to have such incredible focus over very long
periods of time and know how to negotiate schedules, every type of
personality and be aware of a huge number of aspects of life that gets
drawn on within their film. It takes an absolute commitment.
