I don't think there is a movie that I've been on that I wasn't sure I could direct it better. But certainly also, as a director of photography, I have to serve the movie in whatever way I can as a filmmaker.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.
There were movies that always made me want to be a director. You see brilliant scenes and the way the emotions were handled. I thought, I'd really like to do that.
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.
I think I would have a better time writing films rather than directing.
I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write.
And later I thought, I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.
I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'
I know I'd like to direct a film at some point, and maybe I'll write it.
I never know going in if I've even got a movie to make. Once you start making a film, you hope there's going to be enough material! My job as a director is always to push for more.
In film, I don't think I'd try directing. Maybe one day, but I'd certainly want to go to film school or something before I tried to do something like that. That would be quite scary.
