Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman has revealed that he doesn't ever want to direct himself in a movie again.

The Capote star made his directorial debut earlier this year with Jack Goes Boating, a movie in which he also starred.

But Hoffman admits that he he found it difficult to direct himself and while he would like to step behind the camera again it would be a project that he didn't have role in.

Speaking to ContactMusic the Oscar winner said: "I want to direct again. I enjoy the process. But I don't honestly like the part about directing myself.

"This whole thing is very subjective. Although I had an editor, of course, I co-edited it. It's a living thing. It's creativity and very hard to be subjective.

"We rehearsed two weeks, then shot for two months all around New York. Watching the finished product, I see some things I'd maybe want to change.

"It's as if you're suffering with OCD. The project's never finished, never over. Look, I love to wear different hats. I enjoy developing stuff. But when I direct again, I'd want it to be without me in it."

Hoffman is currently filming Moneyball with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill and has Farragut North and The Master in the pipeline.
