I think acting really helps as a director. It's just no question, because you totally understand the acting process.

I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

Being an actor really, really strengthens me as a director. There's just a certain type of understanding that comes from having been there and knowing how much is really being asked of actors that helps me.

To be a good director, you have to have good life experience. I'm getting there.

I guess once you've been acting for a long time, you glean the great bits of good directors and the bad bits from other directors, and you know the way that you would like to be directed.

You either are a good director or you're not.

I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.

I think when you have some success as a kid, your notion of being a good actor is pleasing the director, doing exactly what they tell you to do.

I really feel that I'm a much better director than I was an actor.
