Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you've felt, that you have observed.

Directing was a natural thing for me. Actually, it was far less stressful directing than being the lead actor. I was able to have my input in all aspects of it.

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.

Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.

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

I keep saying this, but the most important part of directing is casting, and the rest of it is pretty easy.

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 hardest part about directing is getting everyone on the same page.

Directing is too hard, it takes too much time, and it doesn't pay very well.

Writing and directing might be a red herring, and really I'm just re-examining what it is to act, to do it well and do it properly.
