BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO IS DIRECT

“Ken Kwapis always brought out the best in the actors on The Office. Whenever Ken was directing, I always felt safe to go out on a limb and take chances, knowing he had my back. Every aspiring director should read this book. (I can think of several “professional” directors that should read it too!).” —JENNA FISCHER

“A vital, magnificent manifesto, written with emotional, instinctual and intellectual depth by one of America’s most beloved film and television directors.” —AMBER TAMBLYN

“In the years that I was fortunate to work with Ken on Malcolm in the Middle, he had an uncanny ability to guide actors right to the heart of a scene and reveal its truths. He admits that . . . he’ll make mistakes but as he says in the book, ‘It’s the struggle to get it right that makes us human.'” —BRYAN CRANSTON

“Good luck finding a more kind, passionate, and talented director —TIG NOTARO

“Discover how a top director always brings humor, honesty, and humanity to his work.” —LARRY WILMORE
