The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.

I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.

I am drawn to writing and directing as it is most like the feeling I had when I was a teenager with my puppet theatre. You are more in control of everything and involved in every aspect of production, so more challenged and fulfilled.

I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.

Every role that you accept makes you grow in some way. It's part of the creative process.

I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural to me. So I don't take it for granted... What I think is my natural ability - which is writing - I think I totally take that for granted.

I stand to learn more working as an actor with really talented people than I do by directing a feature.

I still have my talent to produce and direct.
