London, Apr 24 (IANS): Irish actor-producer Pierce Brosnan is happy producing rather than directing projects.

The actor was back on the big screen last week with his romance movie "Love Is All You Need". He admitted that he has never had a burning ambition to direct.

Brosnan has produced and worked in movies like "The Matador" and "Evelyn" and he said that it is a process that he enjoys.

Talking about direction plans, Brosnan said he thought about it, but "I've never really got around to doing it". "The want has never been that burning," femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.

"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," he added.

As far as acting assignments go, Brosnan has completed work on "Love Punch" and "A Long Way Down". He has several projects in the pipeline such as "The Coup" and "Last Man Out".
