Directing is more what I would like to get into eventually. Frankly, I feel like it would be a waste if I didn't because I've spent so much time on film sets, and I know how they work, and I love them, and I love leading them. I would like to do that as a director definitely.
Daniel Radcliffe

Directing was a big learning experience for me because I had to deal with every aspect of everything-all this constant decision-making, with people asking you questions at every moment, and you have to have answers for them all.
Charlie Kaufman
Image
Directing is such alchemy, it's so easy to fail. And I've seen people who are great at their jobs because everybody has a go. Editors, DPs, actors, craft services guy, everybody wants to try it out but it is such a diffuse but necessary set of skills that you never know which one this person might lack.
Joss Whedon
Image
Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.
George Clooney
Image
Directing music videos is all about capturing images.
Nia Long
Image
Directing is very close to choreography you deal with space, time, emotions, lighting, making beautiful images.
Benjamin Millepied
Image
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
James Franco
Image
Directing was a transformative experience for me, one that I really enjoyed.
Gillian Anderson
Image
Directing an opera is similar to directing a play. The singing must not get in the way of the drama.
Bruce Beresford
Image
Directing remains very psychological, and it takes a lot of time and reflection. When you're an actor, it takes less time, and you can express yourself physically.
Guillaume Canet
Image
Directing Skyfall was one of the best experiences of my professional life, but I have theatre and other commitments, including productions of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and King Lear, that need my complete focus over the next year and beyond.
Sam Mendes
Image
Directing, you have to put yourself in a certain state, it's all about the energy you have and the energy you transmit to people, to the actors, to the crew. It's peculiar.
Thomas Bidegain
Image
Directing is like guitar playing. That's a unique mind-set and talent, unto itself. I like the idea of putting everything together to make a great movie.
Slash

Directing requires great discipline, that ability to be in and out at the same time. The great ones I've worked with are like generals. It's a bit like a small war on that level. The great ones have that combination of freedom and control. I'm nowhere near that. There's still so much to do as an actor. I have enough to explore with that.
Robin Williams
Image
Directing the process by the mind can only lead to difficulty, for the mind does not know. Commitment to the Truth is sufficient for the process to unfold.
A. H. Almaas
Image
Directing has only increased my admiration and respect for what it is that actors do.
Eric Stoltz
Image
Directing is a very long process, and I have to be in love with it if I want to give up two years of my life and live with it from beginning to end!
Danielle Harris
Image
Directing is something that I'd been wanting and hoping to do, as I've grown into myself.
Eric Balfour
Image
Directing ain't about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn't want to go to film school. I didn't know what the point was. The fact is, you don't know what directing is until the sun is setting and you've got to get five shots and you're only going to get two.
David Fincher
Image
Directing made me realise what I do as an actor that's extraneous, it focuses your mind on story, story, story.
Matt Smith
Image
Directing is genderless. The only thing...I love men.
Lori Petty
Image
Directing doesn't appeal to me. I'm much more in the world of ideas.
Melissa Rosenberg
Image
Directing was a natural thing for me. Actually, it was far less stressful directing than being the lead actor. I was able to have my input in all aspects of it.
Michael Jai White
Image
Directing is kind of like acting through other people. You see moments and you see things and if you don't see the actors hit it, you paint in those little spaces and tell them what direction to go in.
