Directing a film requires a different set of skills. It is a difficult job, and I am happy being an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn't know what to do! You can't be a movie director without real preparation.
Directing is more what I would like to get into eventually. Frankly, I feel like it would be a waste if I didn't because I've spent so much time on film sets, and I know how they work, and I love them, and I love leading them. I would like to do that as a director definitely.
Directing a film was something I always wanted to do, something that seemed an inevitability in my development as an actor.
As far as working with actors, I feel very comfortable working in that aspect of directing.
Directing movies is the best job there is, that's all. I can hardly say a word after that. It's just a great job.
When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.
The hardest part of directing is the choosing. Unlike an actor who can do a variety of work, it is a year of your life, you can't afford to get it wrong.
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.
Directing is not a job. It's more like a career. Which is great!
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
