I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.

It was difficult every ten days having a new director. I'm a real collaborator and, as an actor, I want to be directed. It's hard for me to shift gears.

I directed before I was even in television; I directed in the theatre for seven years, so that was my trade anyway. But in the UK, I've given up any hope of being considered a director.

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 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.

I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.

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

I had become a film director because I thought I could express something in an artful way.

I don't like waiting around for work, and sometimes as an actor you're forced into that position, so that's sort of how I got into writing, producing and directing.
