Being an actor started me writing, and that led to directing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.
Directing a film was something I always wanted to do, something that seemed an inevitability in my development as an actor.
I started writing because I wasn't getting things as an actor.
I started writing screenplays myself and eventually directing.
I started as a writer; I started writing when I was little. The acting and directing was an outgrowth of my desire to tell stories.
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
And I taught acting for years, and without knowing it that was the real thing that started bending me toward directing.
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
Directing myself definitely made me a better actor. And, you know, I think actors have the best track record when they turn to directing. Writers, too. I knew how to direct actors because I've been there and I know what I like.
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
