Panettiere wants to direct
Hayden Panettiere says she is willing to put her acting career on hold for a long period of time in order to explore a different aspect of the movie industry.
She said: "I would love to direct at some point. Directing is something I would very definitely want to take a major break from acting to do because you have to live with the project for so long afterward. I wouldn't want to spend myself too thin, I want to dedicate my time and my energy to that, and eventually maybe down the road that will happen."
Despite her ambitions, the 'Heroes' star is not ready to give up acting yet as she still enjoys getting to work with new people and learning new things about herself.
She added: "I always enjoy the travelling, the working with new people and eventually down the road what you wind up learning from those people.
"Every time I work with somebody and travel to a different place your experiences make up who you are."
