#directing

Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun. ↗

Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing. ↗

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I've never been happier. ↗

I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn't know what to do! You can't be a movie director without real preparation. ↗

I'm very happy to be directing though. It's a challenge, and it's a lot of fun for me to be on set. ↗

Directing doesn't appeal to me. I'm much more in the world of ideas. My husband is a director, and I understand what it takes to direct. It's a skill set where you have to be able to talk to actors and understand them, and I don't. It's a very different way of being in the world, and I much prefer writing and producing. ↗

I did all my directing when I wrote the screenplay. It was probably harder for a regular director. He probably had to read the script the night before shooting started. ↗

Producing is hell, writing is frustrating, acting is really satisfying, directing is heaven. ↗

They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors. ↗

I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling. ↗

— Michel Hazanavicius
