A Quote by Jonah Hill

I directed my first music video for Sara Bareilles. I like writing and directing. I co-wrote '21 Jump Street' and I'm in that. To me, they all inform the other one. I think writing makes you a better actor, acting makes you a better writer, directing makes you better at both. To me, I'm just trying to learn as much as possible.

Writing has made me a better actor. Acting has made me a better writer. So why wouldn't directing make me a better actor and writer?

Jonah Hill

Movie is an industry without job security. As soon as a job is done, you have to find a job. But I think doing different stuff makes you better at other stuff: Acting makes you better at stand-up, which makes you better at writing.

T. J. Miller

For me, the real goal is to integrate. The thing that I'm most happy with is the fact that I've been able to keep doing all of it - to keep writing, and to keep acting in movies, and to keep acting on the stage, to keep directing plays. I find that they feed each other, and that I learn about acting from directing and I learn about writing from acting.

Ethan Hawke

There's no doubt in the world that directing makes you a better actor. Me, anyway. There's no doubt in the world that it makes me a more collaborative actor.

Campbell Scott

I am a very emotional person. I basically think and feel in emotion, so writing is much easier for me than communicating by voice or by talking to somebody just because I can really get into the emotion more succinctly with writing. So I guess that's what makes me a better writer than speaker.

Kelly Oxford

The adrenaline is very important for me when I go in to bat. That makes me tick, makes me think better. When your energy is up and running, you have a much better chance of doing well.

Dinesh Karthik

Other writers definitely influence my writing. What encourages me and inspires me is when I read a good book. It makes me want to be a better writer.

Kimberly Willis Holt

I love acting, but directing and writing have always been just as important. I started to write so many things when I was even a child. I wrote my first play when I was, like, seven years old. That was me - a writer - for years.

Melanie Laurent

I believe that, by directing, it makes me a better executive as well.

John Lasseter

As a kid I was always writing and directing plays in my basement with my neighborhood cronies. But please don't get me wrong, I have zero regrets when it comes to the acting stuff. I think it's made me a better director.

Coley Sohn

I like sex writing that makes me think, makes me cringe, makes me angry, makes me look at it in a new way.

Rachel Kramer Bussel

Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

Nick Cave

I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom.

Cindy Crawford

I am writing things on my own, but I really believe co-writing makes you a better writer.

Cassadee Pope

I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.

Sylvester Stallone

When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot. It's strange: people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it. I don't keep regular hours.
