Directing is not a job. It's more like a career. Which is great!

Directing a film was something I always wanted to do, something that seemed an inevitability in my development as an actor.

If I could really move my career much more into predominantly directing, I would jump at that.

If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I'd choose the directing job.

I think I would have a better time writing films rather than directing.

I see the job of directing as being one of creating the right atmosphere, creating an environment where people can realize their full potential.

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

Directing a film requires a different set of skills. It is a difficult job, and I am happy being an actor.

I had become a film director because I thought I could express something in an artful way.

When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.
