A lot of performing instincts are involved in the business of direction, but so is analysis and having a sense of literature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The way most people approach business - and the way they mostly teach in business school - involves the analytical mind. It divides it up and looks at parts in isolation.
Writing and directing might be a red herring, and really I'm just re-examining what it is to act, to do it well and do it properly.
Experience is not the poor relation of expertise. Valuable insights in business often come from the people on the ground.
Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin.
I've been very strategic in how I've approached the jobs I want to do.
The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.
I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.
By reading, you learn through others' experiences, generally, a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men.
In business, there's a constant focus on developing strategies, reviewing executive performance against those strategies each year, engaging with opposing or different points of view, and having intellectual dialogue.
I want to try and be instinctive as a writer and director.
