I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.

Ricky Gervais

I actually started as a director, but then I saw Mark Ruffalo in 'You Can Count on Me,' and I thought to myself, 'I want to do that.'

Reid Scott

I never really saw myself as a comedy director, and I still don't. I see myself as a director.

Melina Matsoukas

I always want to challenge myself as a writer. I consider myself more of a writer than I do a director.

Lena Waithe

I think writing is a very political act. I think that any writer who says it's not, is simply a writer who is disavowing the political connotations of what they write.

Mohsin Hamid

I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.

Charlie Day

My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress.

Troian Bellisario

'Crash' came from personal experience. I saw things inside me from living in L.A. that made me uncomfortable. I saw horrible things in people and saw terrible things in myself. I saw a black director completely humiliated, but the three people around me just thought it was funny. 'No,' I said, 'that is selling your soul.'

Paul Haggis

Dickens never joined a political party nor put forward a political programme. He was a writer who rightly saw his power as coming through his fiction.

Claire Tomalin

My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer and my mom's a director and writer.

Troian Bellisario

Everyone wants to be a writer, director, producer. I don't have the imagination for that, but, hopefully, I can continue to act.

Holly Marie Combs

I am of the opinion that I am not a political writer, and, moreover, that as far as true literature is concerned, there actually are no political writers. I think that my writing is no more political than ancient Greek theatre. I would have become the writer I am in any political regime.

Ismail Kadare

I started as a director, but I was too bored with actors. I preferred to act.

Peter Stormare

I like acting for myself as a director. I act and I know that I'll have a chance to have some say in what gets used and that I'll be able to give myself enough takes and be on the same page as myself about how the scene should play.

Ben Affleck

I didn't have a burning desire to be a writer or director - writer probably more so, certainly not a director.

Billy Bob Thornton

I thought I was depressed because I wasn't a writer/director. I moved into a space where I'm a writer/director, my movie is a hit at Sundance, I have a wonderful, loving boyfriend, and wow, I have financial stability. Why can't I get out of bed still?
