I had a certain career as an actor that I think was quite personal as well, and had a lot of integrity, but I wasn't writing my own things or directing my own movies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.
I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.
I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor.
I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.
I didn't become an actor because I thought I'd make lots of money.
I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.
I consider myself a writer. I always wanted to act, and as a teen, I studied acting devotedly. Eventually, I got writing work, but very little acting work.
I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.
