I'd worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So I always figured I'd still be playing at this age.
It was a blast. I was doing everything that teenagers do and everything people in their twenties do. I was playing as hard as I was working, which was an effort to really balance my life.
When I was younger I was trying to do what I wanted to do, not what the game wanted me to do.
When I was 13, I looked like I could play 16, and I wasn't mature enough to play 16.
Part of my success was having a place to play as a kid.
I have been really lucky to play roles younger than myself for most of my career.
I played basketball to try to get my parents from working so hard.
I was 20, I was an amateur from 14 but my first professional role was at 22.
I'd started working when I was 21 and had been very determined about my career, very focused, even as a little kid, so it was something I had been working at for a long time.
I knew when I was 10 that I wanted to act full-time.
