My only fantasy about writing was that in my old days, after directing many masterpieces, I would write my memoirs. ↗

I look for an interesting and often times, fresh character. Something different that what is done all the time or than I've done recently. I look at who is directing. Those two variables as well as a third, which is the content and the quality of the screenplay. I look at the arcs of the scenes and characters and relationships. ↗

There's a joy and a pain about directing where the dreams you have are becoming concrete but the attention to detail, the need for time is such that it's overwhelming at times, and the stream of responsibility. ↗

My abilities grow with each job, whether it's writing or directing. When I stop learing, I'll stop working. ↗

I am drawn to writing and directing as it is most like the feeling I had when I was a teenager with my puppet theatre. You are more in control of everything and involved in every aspect of production, so more challenged and fulfilled. ↗

The hardest part of directing is the choosing. Unlike an actor who can do a variety of work, it is a year of your life, you can't afford to get it wrong. ↗

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

I just don't see where I could possibly fit in directing a feature. ↗
