I was dissatisfied just being an actor.

I write in the mornings. During my down time.

As a film director I like to have the actors create their own close-ups. It's an older style of filmmaking.

I don't like to move the camera that much anyway.

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.

And I love doing my own projects; that's what I've always wanted to do.
