“The fact is, I love acting and am awfully fond of writing, too. As to the directing, although I have done a good deal of it and often put on a photoplay while Mr. Ford is cutting and assembling a picture, I believe that I best like it in the way I do it – that is, occasionally. I hardly believe I would take to it as a steady diet. Later on, when I feel I am too old to take leads – and the time will come, you know, no matter how hard I try to stave it off – then, I guess, I will direct entirely, because I will never give up Motion Pictures – I am too wrapped up in them. At the same time I am glad I do direct now and again, for I can say that I have tried every angle of the manufacturing end of the business, and, what is more, that I am conversant with every branch and can even cut and assemble a film, with appealing subtitles, and have done so many times.”
