I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.

Since I was a child, I've liked telling stories. Maybe because my father's a director, I grew up loving stories. I'm not good at spinning them at a dinner table because I do go on a bit, but I love writing them, and directing is just a way of editing the story.

I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.

Whether I'm telling stories in songs or if directing is the next step, being a storyteller is what I like doing.

I have stories that I'd like to maybe one day consider directing, but you need a lot of time to write and put it together.

Directing is definitely something that is in my life for keeps, and the more I do it, the more I realize how much I want to learn and how much I have to give. And it kind of bolsters my acting - it enhances it in a really wonderful way that I wasn't expecting.

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.

For me, directing a film is like confining myself. I want to do something beyond direction. I can conceive stories, write screenplays, etc. That's better for me.

I have always believed that directing a film is like telling a story. You have to tell it well so that it is appreciated.
