Pierce Brosnan says that he is happy producing rather than directing projects.
The actor was back on the big screen last week with his charming new romance movie Love Is All You Need but he admits that he has never had a burning ambition to direct.
Over the years he has produced movies such as The Matador and Evelyn and he says that it is a process that he enjoys.
Speaking to the Press Association the actor said: "I thought about it but I've never really got around to doing it. The want has never been that burning.
"I enjoy producing. It gives you a sense of control in directing your career, but it's the joy of ownership - finding the material, working on the text, bringing the cast together and getting the money."
Love Is All You Need is the first big screen outing for Brosnan in 2013 but he has already completed work on Love Punch and A Long Way Down.
And the actor has several projects in the pipeline as he has been linked to The Coup and Last Man Out.
Love Is All You Need is out now
