I think that if you're a good enough actor you hope that eventually the material will find you.

I had a bad experience on Ned Kelly, which I'd written the screenplay for. I thought: Well Jesus, if these are the type of people directing movies I might as well direct one myself!

When you've written a script, if an actor has a question you're the writer as well as the director, so you have the answer. And if you don't, then you just be honest and say 'I don't know' and then you discuss it. So, working with the actors is fine.
