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

Sure, I might come across as an extrovert on television, but I am not a particularly gregarious person.

Susanna Reid

I'm an introverted extrovert. My job sets me apart, but I'm not hammy and don't need attention.

Jeremy Scott

It's not easy to strap yourself down to a desk and bash on a keyboard when you know you can direct lots of films, because directing films is fun and interactive and gregarious. Writing isn't.

Guy Ritchie

I learned that I enjoy directing a lot more than I enjoy writing, which is interesting, because writing is lonely and infamous basically.

Dan Mazer

I'm less comfortable in a gregarious social situation, and you can be introverted and still share everything. It just means that you're guarded.

Neil Peart

When I was growing up, I wasn't an extrovert. If anything, I was an introverted kid and a very average pupil at school. I was very quiet.

Clint Eastwood

I'm probably the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, 'She was really good, but she's just not cute enough.'

Nikki Cox

I think directing and writing are very different jobs. Obviously, directing is a more social and managerial job. The other thing about directing is that it's a very, very pragmatic job, and writing isn't.

Charlie Kaufman

It can be isolating to be an entrepreneur... you have to keep hustling to make it happen and that can be lonely.

Miguel McKelvey

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.

Adam Rapp

When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot.

Adam Rapp

Directing a movie precludes me from being involved in any greater way. But, the job was never to do more, it was always to enable. Sometimes as a producer, you're creating and writing it, or sometimes you're writing and directing it, or other times you're there from the very beginning.

J. J. Abrams

Writing is alone, but I don't think it's lonely. Ask any writer if they feel lonely when they're writing their book, and I think they'll say no.

Margaret Atwood

I think that I'm, like, an introverted extrovert. At the end of the day, when I get done doing hair at the salon or shooting a day of 'Queer Eye' or whatever, I definitely want to come home and, like, order pasta and sit with my cat or just one person or no people.

Jonathan Van Ness

I loved acting, and then acting led to writing, and writing led to directing, and directing lead to five movies, and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.
