Directing myself definitely made me a better actor. And, you know, I think actors have the best track record when they turn to directing. Writers, too. I knew how to direct actors because I've been there and I know what I like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being an actor started me writing, and that led to directing.
I like acting better than anything else, but, you know, directing's good.
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.
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.
There's no doubt in the world that directing makes you a better actor. Me, anyway. There's no doubt in the world that it makes me a more collaborative actor.
I've done a little directing, but I love acting more.
Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.
I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.
I really feel that I'm a much better director than I was an actor.
