Salma Hayek Writing Her Next Project  3/17/06

Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek is busy writing a script for her next film, despite her concerns it won't be good enough.

The Frida star, 39, loves working behind the camera as well as acting, after making her directorial debut with The Maldondo Miracle in 2003 and producing Frida in 2002.

Hayek tells the New York Daily News, "Producing is not a passion, but it is something you have to do if you want to be proactive, instead of just passively waiting (for roles) - or complaining.

"But I do love directing. I'm picky with it. I'm writing something now that God knows how long it is going to take me to finish, and God knows if it's going to be good enough for me to direct.

"But I'm trying, because in order to direct I am going into writing. So let's see how this experiment turns out."
