I started a French degree at university, but packed it in when I realised I really wanted to be an actor.

I majored in musical theatre performance at college, then went through years of waiting tables and temping while looking for acting work.

I studied theater in college, and I really wanted to be an actress and play a lot of different roles. Then I made landing on a television comedy my main focus.

It took me a few years to realize I might want to get into acting as a profession.

Although I did end up trying out several different fields before committing to acting, I knew in the deepest part of heart that I wanted to be an actress.

I had to study acting to basically educate myself.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I went to Howard University and majored in Film Production and minored in Acting. I turned down an opportunity to go pro in Track & Field to do this - I took a chance with this.

I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job.

I used to do a little acting in school. It was my first love, and I really thought I would be doing it as a career. I really wanted to complete that part of my ambition.
