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.
