I was never interested in acting on film or in television, but I was always more inclined to writing and directing, and the exploration of character.

Sam Levinson

I've always been interested in directing. I started acting when I was thirteen years old, so I've had some desire to do something else in my life.

Ethan Hawke

Well, honestly, the films I personally like to go see are smaller, more character-driven pieces, so that's why the movies I've made have been smaller, more character-driven movies.

Edward Burns

My approach to directing is to not do very much directing. I'm mainly interested in what the creative group individually and together are thinking.

Alex Garland

For me, it's all about smaller character-driven pieces, about finding a person that I connect with and that I'm interested in bringing to life.

Laura Harrier

I've been interested in the writing/directing thing and really fell into acting by complete accident.

Domhnall Gleeson

Some of the best times I've ever had in my life have been because of acting and through acting. But I'm not interested in the game of acting and being an actor and auditioning and all that stuff.

John Gordon Sinclair

I've always really respected directors. As much as I was interested in acting, whenever I watched a film, it was always the directing that really stood out to me.

Paul Wesley

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

Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of acting: character acting and lead acting. And in my life, to begin with, in the 1980s, it was all character acting. And then when, by fluke, through 'Four Weddings', I got into doing lead parts, it's a completely different thing.

Hugh Grant

Acting is always the priority and I love doing what I do, but I'm also very interested in directing and writing and getting a hand in every part of the movie making process.

Skyler Gisondo

There are a lot of male directors who are directing female-driven pieces. I think that its good to get the girl's point of view and they should write stuff that they know.

Jerusha Hess

I would consider directing. I think directing myself would be tough, but I'm definitely interested in directing. I might start off directing a play before I move to a film.

John C. Reilly

I loved theater and went to Circle in the Square's post-graduate program for two years and studied acting and directing and I loved it. I loved acting and directing - I really like directing a lot. Some days I think maybe someday I'll go back and direct something.

Martha MacCallum

I tell stories, and I do it through writing, through acting, through my stand-up, and through directing. All the hats I wear - producing as well - ultimately, I am a storyteller.
