As a child I was given the freedom to explore my passion for acting, but I also grew up in a home where there were a lot of rules. I didn't have 'yes' parents.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.
My mother and father always supported my passion for acting. I think they just kind of expected me to move to New York and become an actress and have all these adventures.
I've always enjoyed acting. When we were younger, my sisters and I would put on plays for our parents.
My parents were involved in everything I did. They were showbiz people themselves. My dad was an actor. They were parents; they did what parents are supposed to do.
People feel that I became an actor because I am from a film family and that my parents were actors. But actually, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies.
I think that when I was child, acting was mostly just a hobby for me. It was something that my parents encouraged me to think of the way that my brothers thought of their cross-country classes, or my little sister to dance classes and art classes, and it was something like that for me.
My parents know how passionate I've always been about acting. I convinced them this was something that I was going to put my heart and soul into.
I grew up in an acting family. I was heavily discouraged from doing it myself when I was young, which is the only responsible route to take with any child, because it's not necessarily the easiest of lives.
My parents made certain I had no illusions about acting. To them, it was always just a job.
Both my parents were actors. I was schooled to think that acting was an important social service, that it was something that human beings need.
