“No, I wouldn't direct a movie, no. I couldn't. I don't have the patien...” — Nick Cave Quote

No, I wouldn't direct a movie, no. I couldn't. I don't have the patience for it, I don't have the people skills. You have to be clever. I'm not really clever in that kind of way.

It costs to win, you need patience.
