Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got started as an actor when I was 12.
I just always knew I wanted to be an actor. I gave my Emmy acceptance speech when I was 11. But, I wasn't allowed to do plays and things like that. It was considered dangerous. My parents didn't think it was safe for a girl to do that, and they definitely didn't think it was interesting to participate in the arts.

By the time I was 10 or 11, I knew I wanted to make films.
