I thought that I'd never be able to work in films or TV. Another girl would be cutting her nose to be an actress. I was always very sure about myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.
As a kid, I never thought I'd be an actress. Never, ever, ever, no way. I was really shy - bordering on social disorder shy - and I was really academic.
When I started in films, it never really occurred to me that I could make a career out of acting.
First off let me say, I've wanted to be an actress since I was a little girl.
I don't think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old.
I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.
I was very aware that my path into the industry would probably be as an actress and not in production, that I could learn a lot that way. And I did.
I always wanted to be an actress. I couldn't imagine being anything else.
When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted really to be the kind of actress I became.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
