Despite years of making a living as an actor, I still think of myself as a director. I guess since I started directing as a teenager and continued for another twenty odd years it is deep in my bones. Is it because I like control or because acting doesn't seem like real work? When I was young, acting seemed like play and directing seemed to be a serious occupation. But when I got to theatre school, I began to understand the craft of acting and to appreciate both acting and directing as unique art forms. Directing for film is yet another form, combining some of the elements of theatre directing but adding many new challenges. One of these days I will settle on a career!
