Looking back, I am thankful that I didn't go into the film industry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.
When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.
I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
I could never have imagined the films I've done and the people I've worked with when I was starting out; I certainly did not have a career path.
I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.
I had no interest in really becoming an actress or doing that kind of thing... I just knew that I wanted to do something in making films.
I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.
And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.
And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film, gain the benefit of my education, and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.
