Philip Seymour Hoffman On Acting And Directing At The Same Time (He Didn't Like It) "[If] you're directing and acting you're on both sides of that equation so everyone's just waiting on you completely which is ... it needs to be shared, that relationship. There needs to be an actor and a director and they should be sharing the responsibility of getting it right. ... I remember going, 'Phil, remember this, remember this feeling right now. Don't do this again'." The Arts Desk (London) 02/18/12
