I have a lot of appreciation for what people do in front of the camera as well as behind the camera. I don't think I could like one without the other. Eventually, I think the road will lead me down to producing or directing, because it's more about problem solving.

Writing, directing... anything behind the camera is what I want to do.

I never studied directing and I never really thought about doing it, and then I just found myself in that situation and tried it. I like to be observing everything else, and I get self-conscious in front of the camera.

I'd like to direct myself but I'm a cinephile and I also would like to just step behind the camera and be on the other end of making movies.

There will be a time very shortly that I just might not be in front of the camera at all, and I might just be behind the scenes. I love doing television, though. I don't necessarily love being in front of the camera.

I love being in front of the camera.

I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.

I never had the desire to get in front of the camera. It never occurred to me! I always thought I'd be a theater actor.

Any time you do opposing camera angles, there's gonna be some compromise in the lighting.

I have been trying to retire to the back of the camera for quite a few years, and in 1970, when I first started directing, I said, 'If I could pull this off, I can some day move to the back of the camera and stay there.'
