I don't really have a drive toward being a director at all. Not that I wouldn't rule it out, but I just don't think my instincts lie necessarily in a very visual way. But I am very interested in storytelling, narrative and character development, so writing is something that I absolutely want to do.

I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.

Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.

Directing is something I've sort of always felt like I'd like to do at one point, and I thought the best way to start it is to write something myself or with someone and I'd go from there. My own material.

It's very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.

I want to direct one day. I want to write my own thing and really be behind the scenes because you have more creative control.

For me, directing a film is like confining myself. I want to do something beyond direction. I can conceive stories, write screenplays, etc. That's better for me.

I want to try and be instinctive as a writer and director.

I love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I'd work as a gaffer on something.

When I feel like being a director, I write a novel.
