With directing, you always have three or four things constantly on the go. It's a tough industry and a tough time, particularly if you're doing things a little outside the box or independent features.

Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself.

Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.

With directing, you've got to find something and drag it up from its inception, and I'm at the early stages of doing that again. There's something all-consuming and addictive about that.

Directing is the ultimate way to bring together all the art forms I've been involved with over the years.

Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.

Directing? It's an appealing thought, but as far as I can tell, it's a lot of work. Producing is easier. You can tell someone else what to do and then go home.

Definitely directing is the thing I like the most because this is where everything you know can be used. It's the most personal process ever. It's the most demanding one, but again, rewarding.

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

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.
