I did think that acting would be much more like being a pop star. Now I'm here, I can't think of anything more different.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every actor I know wants to be a pop star.
When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.
When I first moved out to Los Angeles I was thinking, you know, I wanted to be an actor but I didn't really know what acting was about. I thought if I could be a model, or even do commercials and stuff like that for the rest of my life, I'd be happy.
Acting is a talent, but I like to see the whole picture.
If I wasn't acting, I would be trying to break into acting.
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich, and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.
I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.
I think the beautiful thing about acting is you don't really know who you are. You're able to be whatever you want any day during the week. So I really couldn't see myself being anything else.
