So I'm not really quite sure what Landis' plans were to make another one. The American Werewolf in Paris was a completely separate story.

I have no directing ambition whatsoever. And as long as I meet filmmakers like Tom Hooper, Stephen Frears, and others who allow that collaboration, I can't see why I would ever want to direct.

It's not the ideal situation to have two directors. It's just not the ideal thing.

I'd like to have a go at directing.

I don't like directing that much to want a career as a director for hire. I like to have as much creative control as possible.

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

The directing is something that is incredibly satisfying to me and challenging to me because it's asking me to draw on everything I've been able to absorb over all these years of acting and having all this set experience.

I have no interest in directing. I'd be a bad director.

The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.

I'm the kind of director, at any given moment, an idea occurs to me, I'll just do it.
