Angelina Jolie: I have never been comfortable as an actor

Los Angeles: Actress Angelina Jolie says she is now looking to focus on her directing career.

"I've never been comfortable as an actor. I've never loved being in front of the camera. I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier," Jolie told luxury lifestyle magazine Du Jour, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Jolie, who made just one big screen outing this year as she took on the title role in 'Maleficent', will be donning the director's hat with 'Unbroken', a biopic about Olympian and prisoner of war Louis Zamperini. She has just finished filming 'By The Sea', which will see her star and direct in the same movie for the first time.

The film stars her husband Brad Pitt, whom she is directing for the first time.
