Directing talent is very nebulous. You know, it's not in front of you like an actor's performance.

I see the job of directing as being one of creating the right atmosphere, creating an environment where people can realize their full potential.

Directing is a tremendous art.

Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.

That is the great pleasure of working with great directors. You get to look at the world through many different prisms. I guess I love talent, whatever form it takes.

I like acting better than anything else, but, you know, directing's good.

I guess once you've been acting for a long time, you glean the great bits of good directors and the bad bits from other directors, and you know the way that you would like to be directed.

I don't know what directing actors is all about apart from just casting well and then shaping their performances a bit, you know.

Directing has only increased my admiration and respect for what it is that actors do.

I stand to learn more working as an actor with really talented people than I do by directing a feature.
