Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.
After I directed, when I went back to being an actor, I was like, 'God, this is the life!' Because you only have to concentrate on one thing.
Man, as we know him, is a poor creature; he is halfway between an ape and a god and he is travelling in the right direction.
And in Hollywood, you know, everyone is an expert. Most of them are expert editors. They can't direct, they can't write, they can't act, but, by God, they all think they can edit.
The first movie I did was 'Dan in Real Life,' which was directed by Peter Hedges, the same director who did 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.'
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!
Life always rides in strength to victory, not through internationalism... but only through the direct responsibility of the individual.
For life is tendency, and the essence of a tendency is to develop in the form of a sheaf, creating, by its very growth, divergent directions among which its impetus is divided.
The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences. The universe is asymmetric.
Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life.
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
I always want to be telling stories in whatever fashion I can, and directing is really just understanding and learning a different element of that storytelling process.
I've just been learning how to direct my own videos, choreography, doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.
I love acting and I still want to do it, but I've such an instinct for directing, it's something that comes naturally to me. It's why I'm here on this planet.
I would really love to direct one day. I think there are certain actors who love the character and the performance and that's all they want to be a part of.
I'm not sitting around saying, 'Man, I'd really love to direct a western.' That's just not something I'm probably going to do, mostly because I'm allergic to horses.
I will always be an actress. I couldn't see myself without acting. But I'd love to direct and keep writing. I don't think one has to be in place of the other.
Life is always waiting on your decisions and actions to drive it to a direction that fulfills your inner-self.
In all circumstances, always direct your thoughts and beliefs to be in agreement with the manifestation of your positive desires.
The main reason I wanted to be successful was to get out of the ghetto. My parents helped direct my path.
The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.
