As far as directing, yeah, I'd like to do that. But you've got to spend at least a year, year-and-a-half doing that. It's got to be something you really love. To direct a sequel to somebody else's work is not interesting to me. To do a teen comedy, I don't think is really something I'd want to spend a year of my life doing at this point.
