After directing the first film it feels kind of tricky being back to being in front of the camera, because I've always got one eye over there, kind of thinking of what they are doing, and how the shot is being composed. I think it takes a couple of films to just get back to just being an actor.

The only reason I'm acting in films I direct is to get the money to make them, quite frankly, it's not what I'm interested in doing.
