Speaking to Net-A-Porter's The Edit, the blonde beauty said: "I only want to direct. I don't want to be in front of the camera anymore.
I've done it, I'm bored. I so appreciate [this career], I've been doing it 30 years, but I love watching and helping other actors.
"I'm bored by the activity of acting. I love the activity of directing so much more because it's also not a soloist act; it's everybody working together.
"You know what I'd love? To do cameos - wild characters."
And the 'Forrest Gump' star has revealed she has become more confident in herself as she has matured and her body has developed a hatred for doing things she doesn't want to do.
She explained: "It's about not having the fear to say what you want ... I grew into my womanhood very late in that sense, where there's no shame, and I don't have to be defensive about it. My body has an aversion to doing things that I don't want anymore."
And the 'House of Cards' star has admitted she often turned down other jobs because she feared she would burning out by over-working.
She said: "[It was] probably more of a concerted effort in planning a career, seeing how a lot of actresses got burned out by Hollywood; they put them in every movie, every TV show, every beauty campaign. You think, 'I don't even know what I feel about that person.' And I wanted to be here for a while."
However, Robin "never in a million years" thought she would be so successful because she didn't want to be famous.
She explained: "Never in a million years. Never wanted [fame], never sought it, never thought about it."
