is he planning to direct again?

i've been a fan of his as an actor since his tarantino roles, and it didn't surprise me that he also turned to directing with "the war zone" which was a very good start.
but it's been 12 years and he has yet to direct his 2nd film. many actors are flirting with directing while continuing to act (Sean Penn, George Clooney, Ed Harris, Robert De-Niro to name a few), and Roth's directorial debut was met with generally favorable reviews but it seems he's not keen on trying it again. or is he but just taking his time or still hasn't found the right script? or was "The War Zone" enough for him?
anyone knows?

I believe he part-directed Lie to Me.

I just replied to a similar question in another thread: It's odd that he didn't direct again, since "The War Zone" was so well-received. However, in a short interview on the War Zone DVD, it sounds like directing was something he just wanted to try, as most actors want. He doesn't come across as if it's something that burns in him.
