I was directing before I started doing 'The IT Crowd.' It wasn't something that led on after acting I guess. I was sort of doing this stuff before acting.

And I taught acting for years, and without knowing it that was the real thing that started bending me toward directing.

I started directing on 'The Wire.'

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.

I still don't know much about directing a movie.

I came from a background of directing behind-the-scenes documentaries.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.

I'd like to have a go at directing.

I don't have a director. The audience directs me.
