Directing is something I've sort of always felt like I'd like to do at one point, and I thought the best way to start it is to write something myself or with someone and I'd go from there. My own material.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know that when I'm writing, I always want to be directing.
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
In my own life, I've written scripts that I want to direct, so I would love to take my own creativity in a way where I could tell my own story. That does inspire me, the idea of becoming a director.
I have stories that I'd like to maybe one day consider directing, but you need a lot of time to write and put it together.
Directing is the ultimate way to bring together all the art forms I've been involved with over the years.
I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.
With directing, you've got to find something and drag it up from its inception, and I'm at the early stages of doing that again. There's something all-consuming and addictive about that.
For me, directing a film is like confining myself. I want to do something beyond direction. I can conceive stories, write screenplays, etc. That's better for me.
Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.
Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.
