I came from the theater playing leading roles, and when I started doing film and television, I felt as if I had to start from the bottom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started, obviously, doing theater, and I always thought that I would; in a way, I always thought that I'd be a theater actor. When I was starting out, I didn't really plan on making films, actually.
I started as an actor, then became a theater director. I loved acting but didn't feel as confident as I needed to be, so I started directing theater; then I played in some movies, and then I felt the need to do my own stuff.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
I didn't even want to start acting when I started. At least, I never thought about it.
Acting has been my first passion, and turning a producer was a natural progression.
Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.
I started in theater; I did theater in New York for 14 years before I even thought about doing movies - I never thought about being in a film; it just never occurred to me.
Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can.
