When I got to the reading all the work, I was reduced to being an actor in an experimental play that I'd already written. And I didn't want to be an actor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started writing because I wasn't getting things as an actor.
From being a writer of plays, it was not that surprising that somebody thought of giving me a job as an actor. After I played one part, others came along.
I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.
I'm one of those lazy actors; I like to take what the playwright wrote and work with that.
The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
I never wanted to be an actor. I got stuck in it and kind of liked what I was doing.
The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.
I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
