Quote

I wouldn't not want to be a director and write as I wouldn't not to want to be a writer and direct movies.

I like to write, and I would love to be a screenwriter one day and a director.

Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.

I like working with writer-directors because you can solve problems right there.

I don't really have a drive toward being a director at all. Not that I wouldn't rule it out, but I just don't think my instincts lie necessarily in a very visual way. But I am very interested in storytelling, narrative and character development, so writing is something that I absolutely want to do.

I don't like directing that much to want a career as a director for hire. I like to have as much creative control as possible.

I think I am a writer, but professionally I feel drawn to and suited for directing.

In my own life, I've written scripts that I want to direct, so I would love to take my own creativity in a way where I could tell my own story. That does inspire me, the idea of becoming a director.

If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

I don't make my living writing; I make my living as a producer and as a director.
