I think at the age I'm at, it's really hard for a film career, and I'm at a point in my life where I thought it would be a good idea to be a part of a good show and to be able to finish school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did a show back when I was in high school - so I was about 17 - and it was the first time I was on stage. I never even thought about being an actor before that, but after that experience, I knew it was what I wanted to do.
I love filmmaking, but I decided to go to drama school because I thought that when I'm 60 and looking back on my life, if acting hadn't been a part of it, I would hate myself.
As much as I appreciate acting and enjoy it, and like it, it wasn't something where I grew up wanting to be a movie star.
I do comedy at a lot of colleges, and at the end of those shows, I take time to be a little more real with audiences. I try to inspire them to follow their dreams. When I was that age, it was incredible to hear stuff like that.
I was always interested in films and thought that was the path I should go down, but I didn't start pursuing acting until I was 17.
I started going to acting school when I was 14, and I would always have my own take on things.
Even through my college years, I was trying out plays and shows, but I never really thought it made much sense to try to be an actor. I thought it was foolish, really.
Making a transition to the adult acting industry was pretty smooth for me, and I had a great balance and a great opportunity not to do just children shows.
We always thought that we'd go on from the show to have a career in movies.
I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.
