I used to think that, when I was a director, I would have a very specific vision of what everything would look like, but now I am more of a camp counselor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, being a director is about watching, not about telling people what to do. Or maybe it's like being a mirror; if they didn't have me to look at, they wouldn't be able to put the make-up on.
In a weird way, when I was looking back, I didn't know I was going to be a director until I was.
Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you're out of view.
As a director, I really wanted to learn and I needed to get away from my own stuff to figure out how to just do things and work with good people.
Everything I've ever written, I had a very distinct vision of what I wanted it to look like. But, other directors never do it that way.
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 grow up, I still want to be a director.
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.
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.
