The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
If I'd been a parent to myself, I would have been scared because I was only ever interested in my own thoughts.
When I was 10 years old, that nuclear spark hit me. Whatever it may be, I really don't know what it was about nuclear science, but whatever it was that triggered that interest, it stuck. I went after that one with a passion.
For me, to be perfectly honest, the part of my brain that was stimulated by directing was much more exciting than a typical day of acting.

African elephants have long been thought of as a single species, but a critical mass of genetic studies now proves there are two.
Honestly, I've been asking myself how it would feel to be Princess Leia since I was seven years old.
And I taught acting for years, and without knowing it that was the real thing that started bending me toward directing.
With a recent birthday, I've been acting now for twenty years.
