I am more comfortable in the actor's and writer's role than a director's.

Sreenivasan

It is difficult to call myself a writer, even when I stand at a podium to receive a prize, I feel uncomfortable calling myself a writer—I am merely a word criminal.

Murong Xuecun

I guess I've always wanted to create my own stories, but writing was one of those things where I thought that I would never actually do it. I respected writers too much, and what they do, to think that I was one of them - and I still feel that way a lot of the time. I still feel uncomfortable calling myself a writer. I'm like, "No, I'm an actor who writes sometimes."

Erin Maya Darke

I feel much more comfortable as a writer than an actor. I feel like I am a much better writer than I am an actor.

Seth Rogen

I am comfortable calling myself a writer of suspense, or a writer of thrillers; both terms are sort of interchangeable to me. I think that came from a sense of being at conflict with my true nature throughout my youth, and being afraid of discovery, and feeling as if I didn't belong.

Christopher Rice

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

Ricky Gervais

I never think of myself as a celebrity - or even an actor, actually. I think of myself as a writer-director.

Ricky Gervais

I've always thought Ed Burns was a profoundly underrated actor. He's a great director, obviously. A great director/writer. But I think he's a stunning actor, too.

John C. McGinley

I think my family's watched me over the years in my career, in my pursuit of my career, and they've seen the challenges and the struggles that come with being an actor, with being a writer and a director, and the challenges of morphing my career in from just being an actor into a writer/director.

Ricky Schroder

I'm very old-school. I like a director to direct me. I like to be the actor. I'm not particularly fond of the hybrid writer-director, or actor-director. Writers, directors, actors are all such very different people. I think it's unusual that two of those people are in one human.

Melissa Leo

As an actor, you want a director who makes you feel comfortable in a place that you can really create and try a lot of different things.

Ansel Elgort

In this day and age, if you're aspiring to be an actor, and you're putting all your eggs in one basket, you could be disappointed. I started out as an actor, but I forced myself to be a writer, even though I wasn't very good at it and had never written. I don't think I ever passed an English course in my life. My first 8 to 10 scripts were pretty horrendous, but I stayed at it until I eventually found a voice and a subject that people were interested in. So, I recommend that you go out and try to be as versatile as possible: writer, actor, producer and especially director.

Sylvester Stallone

I'm not particularly fond of the hybrid writer-director or actor-director.

Melissa Leo

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

Lena Waithe

As an actor you can always blame the director or writer for negative feedback. But as a writer, you're the reason why everyone's in the room.

Zawe Ashton

When I'm a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It's somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.

Clint Eastwood
