Acting is the easiest money you'll ever make in your life, and directing is probably the hardest money.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.

This directing thing just sort of fell my way and landed in my lap.

I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.

I just don't want to do a movie because it paid me a lot of money.

What I learned as an actor was the only way you could really do August Wilson's work, you had to leave an ounce of your essence on that stage,... Otherwise it was impossible.
