Leonardo DiCaprio is keeping his priorities straight, making it clear he doesn't have plans to transition to directing anytime soon.

The 51-year-old actor had a chat with acclaimed filmmaker, Martin Scorsese during TIME magazine’s A Year in TIME event in New York City on December 10.

During the conversation, the Killers of the Flower Moon actor admitted, "Some people have asked me if I wanted to direct. I'm like, ‘I would never want to direct. I could never do anything close to what Martin Scorsese does. Why would I do that?"

DiCaprio went on to say, "You play these characters, you try to get into the depth of their soul as much as you possibly can. And I would've loved to be much more of a voyeur … to watch what you (Scorsese) do behind the camera."

According to the Titanic star, if he looks back on anything, he would've loved to have observed that process behind the camera a lot more.

On the professional front, Leonardo DiCaprio is involved in other projects as a producer, like the development of Cat's Cradle.
