I wish I was making movies back in the days when John Ford made movies and you were a director under contract to a studio. John Ford had years when he made three movies in a year.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Directing a film was something I always wanted to do, something that seemed an inevitability in my development as an actor.
I started my career as an actor, but I've been a director for 15 years now.
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
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.
I'd like to make movies as a producer and a director.
I didn't start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets.
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.
I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.
It's nice when you're working in Hollywood and there's a movie you'd like to see that no one is making anymore. You make it yourself.
I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.
