Meryl Streep, who won the best actress Golden Globe for her performance in The Iron Lady, says she never became a director because she wanted to have a peaceful family life.
The 62-year-old actress, who has four children with husband Don Gummer, said she has been tempted to work behind the camera but decided it was too big a commitment and would mean missing out on a home life, Daily Mirror.
"It's like being a grandmother: you go home at the end of the night. I used to think I'd like to direct but you know what? Honestly, if you have a big commitment at home you can't really do it. I have four children.
"While they were growing up it was really impossible. Directing is a big, big, big job. Acting, if you prepare, you can leave it on set and come back the next day. You can't do that with directing, it's like a 24-hour job," Streep said.
