I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.
At school there was no acting to be had other than school plays which I did now and again.
I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher, but stumbled into acting after meeting a theatrical agent in my dad's restaurant in San Diego.
My first audition happened to be for 'Kindergarten Cop,' and I took that role. I was only starting to learn English at that point. Spanish is my first language, so they made me a speaking character in the movie. I didn't really know I was shooting a movie. I was just having a lot of fun with 30 kids my own age.
A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.
I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.
I am a lucky regional theater actor who happened to get a good role.
I started acting because I enjoyed school plays.
I had always been the theater nerd at Northwestern University. I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliche - a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress.
I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.
