Acting Is One Element In A Film. Directing Is Sort Of The Painter Using All Of Those Elements - Sound And Music And Camera And Putting It All Together. And That Can Be Fun And Exciting. If You Fail, It's Incredibly Upsetting - Much More Upsetting Than When You're An Actor. But When You Succeed It's Incredibly, Incredibly Exciting, So I Like The Risk Of It All.

Actors Tend To Get In Their Own Way, A Lot. A Lot Of Times You Will Do Things That Will Screw Up Your Audition Process. I Was Very Bad At Auditioning, And I Always Went In To It Saying ‘god I Hope I Don’t Screw This Up.’ But At The Same Time, The Directors Are Saying, ‘god, I Hope This Person Is The Savior.’ You Have To Remember Is That The Worst Thing That Could Happen Is You Don’t Get The Job You Don’t Already Have.
