VIDEO : Cynthia Nixon Says She Really Loves Directing But She Could Never Direct a Film

Don't look for Cynthia Nixon to go from actress to saying "Action!" But, Nixon, in Berlin to promote her latest film, Terence Davies' A Quiet Passion , told a festival press conference that her second career will not extend to a movie set, at least for now. "I really love the directing," she said. As she researched her role for Davies' biopic, Nixon said she took inspiration on how to read Dickinsons' poetry from Julie Harris' playing the poet on stage and in a TV version of her one-woman play The Belle of Amherst.
