Rapper Kanye West has said that he won't be rushing into any Hollywood movies as he is holding out for the director's role.

The ambitious star has admitted that he is beset with offers of roles in major films, but he feels that his production background makes him more suitable for behind-the-scenes work and he is anxious to try his hand at directing.

He told AllHipHop.com: "I have some acting roles on the table right now. I'm just considering them, but I'd be more geared to directing than acting.

"I just love directing. I like giving directions more then taking them."
