I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut - it was so bad. I didn't even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn't even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate.
When I was a freshman, I didn't have that much time for extra-curriculars, so I didn't do any theater stuff. Actually, I didn't do it with my school. I did theater with this thing called Teen Source.
I wasn't even a theater kid in high school. I studied classical piano, and I ran track.
I never did theater. I was a theater major at USC my first year because I didn't get into the film school. I was biding my time, hoping to be accepted to film school, and I ended up transferring to UCLA my sophomore year.
There was no theater program or anything where I'm from. So junior year in high school I started the theater program.
I never took any theater lessons. So when I started to do movies, I was 14.
A lot of people I went to college with felt like they wanted to pursue theater exclusively, so I don't think that I really was in competition with people that I went to school with.
I did theater for 15 years, and I spent a lot of time as an understudy.
I did a lot of theater when I was in high school and college. I also did stand-up in college, so it was always part of what I did.
My interest in theatre started in high school, mostly because my dean forced me to do it. I was creating trouble in the hallways, so he demanded that I do something with my spare time.
