Although I feel directing is a lot more challenging, fulfilling and satisfying, it is also far more stressful & consuming. This is why I don't see myself directing one film after another in quick succession.

Nandita Das

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.

Jennifer Jason Leigh

Producing is hell, writing is frustrating, acting is really satisfying, directing is heaven.

Salma Hayek

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I've never been happier.

Jennifer Jason Leigh

Directing doesn't appeal to me. I'm much more in the world of ideas. My husband is a director, and I understand what it takes to direct. It's a skill set where you have to be able to talk to actors and understand them, and I don't. It's a very different way of being in the world, and I much prefer writing and producing.

Melissa Rosenberg

The timing for directing is usually because it takes that long to develop a piece and then do pre-production and then post-production. It takes at least a couple of years. I prefer directing to doing other things. Directing and writing seem to be infinitely more creative

George Clooney

I find directing more satisfying.

Michael Shanks

I always say, 'I love producing, but directing is my passion,' and for a while, I had to produce to support my directing habit.

Michelle MacLaren

Film directing has perfected my theater directing. I think when I first started directing, a lot of my stuff was very lateral; I was afraid to have the actors' backs turned away, afraid to put them too far upstage, and I think once I did more things with film, I got more interested in composition.

Adam Rapp

Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.

George Clooney

Directing? It's an appealing thought, but as far as I can tell, it's a lot of work. Producing is easier. You can tell someone else what to do and then go home.

Timothy Olyphant

I definitely prefer directing, hands down. I'm a lazy writer and it wasn't until I got into directing that I now have a real impetus when I'm sitting at my computer. Now that I know what it's like to get to bring characters and their stories to fruition, I'm addicted. I'm a junkie. I want more.

Coley Sohn

I would love to try my hand at directing and even producing in some kind of way. Something about that intrigues me, but for directing I could completely see myself trying.

Emayatzy E. Corinealdi

We want box office success, critical acclaim, awards and everything else. But I think when the audience likes a film, that appreciation is far more fulfilling, far more satisfying than any award.

Kiran Rao

I hope always to be busy, even if only directing an orchestra in the pit. However, I should prefer to produce movies or be the directing head of a radio corporation.
