At the end. First start off and do your youth thing In Hollywood and then go to New York later. But it wound up being later, later than I thought it was going to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
I started acting when I was 13 in New York. Worked there for a couple years, then auditioned for a show there that was going to be filming here. Ended up coming out, getting the job and just staying.
I guess I stopped acting when I was 18 and didn't pick it up again until I was 21. That wasn't the plan, though. When I first started at Yale, the plan was to do a movie each summer.
When I started in the late nineties, it was all about young Hollywood. There were jobs for all of us if you were 18 to 21, were slightly good looking, or could be funny.
I was supposed to go to drama school and then go to New York and do theatre. But I grew up on all those fabulous movies and had read all the bold Hollywood books, and I thought I just had to take a look.
Most people grow up dreaming of going to Hollywood and some of them work and work and work and finally end up in Hollywood.
I think when I started acting, the whole time I was working towards one day coming to America. Hollywood, in particular, is seen to be the center of this industry, and I was just waiting for the right time to come.
I was always interested in films and thought that was the path I should go down, but I didn't start pursuing acting until I was 17.
How did I get to Hollywood? By train.
By the time I started doing TV and film, I was in my forties, so I wasn't going to do the young up-and-comer.
