My father is an actor, and I used to go on set to visit him. I saw the stories he was telling and said: 'That's what I want to do.' I was always in awe whenever I went to the movies or when I watched television.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.
When I left university I was working for a documentary film company for six or seven years to the great relief of my father whose greatest waking fear was that I would become an actor.
I know doing movies is where I need to be. That's where my audience wants to see me.
My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.
I watched movies and thought, 'I want to be in movies,' and wanted to be an actor.
Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.
I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.
I always wanted to be in movies.
I always wanted to be a great actor.
My dad couldn't connect to my wanting to be a filmmaker. He was very connected in entertainment, and through him I met Steven Spielberg and got rides on his private plane to California. I'd see Spielberg's people reading scripts. I was like, 'That's what I want to be when I grow up.'
