As an actor, I was not accepted for the longest time. But it did not deter me, as the audience had accepted me. I never compared myself with any other actors. I never had any game plan and took whatever came my way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I faced many ups and downs, like any other actor: not getting through auditions or even worse - getting shortlisted and not being selected. Most actors go through the process.
I never really committed to being an actor. It never felt like it would be possible, I guess.
I never pursued acting with, like, auditions. If anything, I was given roles by people who knew me and liked what I did.
I never really considered myself an actor because I never pursued it.
I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.
I had a very hard time accepting myself as a character actress because I wanted to be glamorous and a leading lady like everybody else. I looked in the mirror and thought I looked pretty good, but casting didn't ever see me that way.
I didn't become an actor because I wanted to act. Actually, I wanted to become a marine biologist. But most of all, I wanted to be accepted.
Actors were the first people to accept me.
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 always wanted to be an actor, but I was always fighting it. It never seemed that honorable to me, and I guess I was always afraid that I might fail.
