Even as far back as when I started acting at 14, I know I've never considered failure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is better to be young in your failures than old in your successes.
I started acting before that when I was about 13 or 14.
We all deal with failure. If you're lucky to have a long career, it's part of the experience.
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
It's a terrifying thing to be perhaps 16 or 17 and feel like you are a failure and a has-been.
Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way.
Well, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go away. What's important is to be smart about it.
When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.
I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.
When I started out I was a failed actor.
