Rob Lowe Quotes

Being an actor started me writing, and that led to directing.

When you're making a film, you have to make most of your decisions on the run, and there is a tendency to always shoot from the hip.

I love filmmaking as a process and acting is one element that is dear to me.

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

Life came in and put me in front of the camera before I could really make a decision, but I think I probably would have gravitated to film.

I'm looking for challenges, and as always, what matters is the script, the character and the director.

I aim to direct as much as I act at some point in time.

I don't think I know enough about acting to direct. You need to be a slight megalomaniac, not where you want to take over the world, but where you want to make every single decision and the buck stops with you. It's an awful lot of stress.

I would love to continue acting. Maybe one day I would like to try writing and directing.

I love acting; I don't want to give up on it at all, but it would be nice to step behind the camera once in a while as well.

I've moved into directing as well as acting, and it has taught me never to take casting personally.

I want to write, act, and direct!

I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.

Eventually, everyone said, Why don't you direct? It would save time. And that's how it started.

My passion is becoming involved in good work, whether that means as an actor or writer or director or producer or all - that is not as important to me.

I have fun acting, and I want to do more of it, and I want to direct my own movie.

I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.

As a director, your work is finished only when it's on the screen. But I will always be an actor who occasionally directs. And no, I have no interest in directing myself. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on both jobs at once.

I enjoy the acting, but I didn't plan on that. It fell into my lap, and I'm having a lot of fun with it, but I'm definitely moving towards directing because I'm naturally a writer, and I think a good director edits, writes, and has acted a little bit. He's done a little bit of everything, and that's what I'm trying to do.

I would love to do more films. I really like the whole process of doing that. I like how close you become to everybody.

I guess what I enjoy most is directing, because it incorporates all aspects of filmmaking. Directing is in the same line as acting - both are popularity contests, and in both you're trying to tell a story through the film as a medium.

I've been interested in the writing/directing thing and really fell into acting by complete accident.

All I know is movies; I went to school, but movies are my reference point for everything. I figured I'd have to P.A. or intern in the art department. Because the filmmaking process is so many people creating to make one piece of magic, so I've always wanted to be involved. With the acting, I doubted it.

I love acting. I take it day by day. I would really love to produce my own stuff and other stuff.

I've written virtually as long as I've acted, it wasn't a sudden transition. I acted in my first play when I was 16 and I wrote my first play when I was 17.
