Let me put it this way: I would like to direct a successful film. An unsuccessful film I would not like to direct. Films are very difficult.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I don't direct a movie at some point, I've failed personally.
I know I'd like to direct a film at some point, and maybe I'll write it.
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 want to direct films, because I am a painter and a sculptor and I've done a lot of writing.
I want to direct films, ultimately. Hopefully I'll have a fantastic career in acting and then go on to do that. That's my dream; that's the ultimate goal.
For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.
When you're so passionate about cinema, the idea to direct your own film is really appealing.
I don't want to be a director. I want to direct. There's a difference.
I have no directing ambition whatsoever. And as long as I meet filmmakers like Tom Hooper, Stephen Frears, and others who allow that collaboration, I can't see why I would ever want to direct.
I would like to produce films, but I feel I am an unsuccessful producer. That's the fact.
