"Perhaps you feel differently, but I do expect certain level of social skills from the directors I am inclined to respect."

(A) I am not sure what "social skills" have to do with talent.
(B) I suspect that most of the directors you admire crafted their art before the development of the fishbowl that we live in today. With the litany of interview shows, entertainment shows, news programs, magazines, and television, directors, actors, and their acts and words are far more visible today than even thirty years ago.

I suspect that many directors of bygone days lacked social skills. You never knew about it. Who knew of Kennedy's exploits when they were taking place?

(C) "Notice - I am not talking about actors here (another mistake of yours...) but those who actually create, not just play something." Actors do not create? Just play something? And I guess singers just read the printed word off the page. Ever see a broadway play in which two different actors play the same role? Ever see the same charachter played by two different actors? For reference, see Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor in Manhunter, then Anthony Hopkins in the same role.
