I love acting and will take all the time to continue to act. But sometimes I'd like to try my hand at directing.

I've done a little directing, but I love acting more.

Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.

Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.

Directing is a lot of fun, but you have to be on your toes every minute. If you zone out for even a second, you'll miss something and things will get screwed up. And here's a little secret that I'm going to let out of the bag: That is not the case with acting.

I'm 64 years old, and I've been acting now for 42 years. Only recently have I thought to myself, 'Hmmm, it may be interesting to start directing.'

Directing is definitely something that is in my life for keeps, and the more I do it, the more I realize how much I want to learn and how much I have to give. And it kind of bolsters my acting - it enhances it in a really wonderful way that I wasn't expecting.

I fell in love with acting. I thought, 'This is what I want to do.'

Acting for me is not a bad habit like smoking that I must make an effort to quit. I love acting; I love directing.
