I learned so much about being an actor by being a director. More than I ever thought I would.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
I learn a lot as a director from acting in other people's films and just in general.
I've learned so many things from directors in my acting career. There are even some things I've learned that I didn't want to do. There are those directors who've really made me shine and others who've made me opaque.
As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.
I really feel that I'm a much better director than I was an actor.
As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
I'm an actor's director.
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
I never wanted to be a director. I came into this industry by the little door, so I never learned anything; I never went to school. Actors will tell you I'm very precise. I just have the intuition of doing things.
