After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started to study, because I knew I had to learn a lot about myself as an actor; you can't act the same as you did as a child.
I never wanted to be an actor until about three years ago when I realised it was what I liked doing.
My introduction to acting was through theatre, so I actually saw a couple of Broadway shows that made me want to be an actor.
I was at college studying psychology, philosophy, textiles and drama. But because I wasn't one of those all-singing, all-dancing stage-school kids, I just assumed I'd never become an actor.
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.
I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.
I had two ambitions: One was to be in The Actors Studio, and the other was to walk into a bar where actors hung out, and everyone would know that I was a professional actor and I would be accepted.
I never wanted to be an actor. I got stuck in it and kind of liked what I was doing.
I never even thought about being an actor. Somebody asked me if I'd like to learn the craft, and I said, 'Okay.' I was a gymnast in a show at that time, and somebody asked me afterwards one night. I performed as a gymnast for nine years, and then I did acting after that.
I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.
