I Think I've Had Pretty Good Experiences For The Most Part With The People Who Have Directed My Screenplays. It's More That I Wanted To See What It Would Be Like If I Didn't Have To Collaborate With Anybody, To Have A Sense Of Purity Of The Thing From Beginning To End. I Liked Doing It. It's Really Different From Writing. Directing Is A More Pragmatic Experience, Where You Have To Deal With The Restrictions Of Time And Money That Force You To Make Certain Decisions You Don't Have To Make When You're Writing.

I Think I've Had Pretty Good Experiences For The Most Part With The People Who Have Directed My Screenplays. It's More That I Wanted To See What It Would Be Like If I Didn't Have To Collaborate With Anybody, To Have A Sense Of Purity Of The Thing From Beginning To End. I Liked Doing It. It's Really Different From Writing.

There's More Interest Because You're Seeing A Puppet Do Things That You're Very Familiar With That You Might Not Notice If It Was A Human Doing It.
