The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I stopped directing in 2001 for four or five years, until I did the TV series 'Masters Of Horror.' I had been working steadily as a director since 1970. That's a long time. I was burned out.
Directing is really my favorite thing to do, but if I never directed again, I'd be okay if all the work I did was good.
Honestly, as a director, at least for me, if I start doing the same thing over and over again, I'm going to get bored really quickly.
I stopped working a few years ago because I just lost a spark that I'd had before. I thought I'd just try writing, and maybe start directing, but I did it very quietly.
I enjoyed directing, and I really found that it was a great new field to try my hand in.
I love directing; it felt right to me when I did 'Flying Lessons'. It's something I will do again. Really, you can always be working and developing. That's something that's kind of ever constant.
I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.
I'm 64 years old, and I've been acting now for 42 years. Only recently have I thought to myself, 'Hmmm, it may be interesting to start directing.'
I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic.
Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well. I'm surprised I'm continuing to work.
