I think, ultimately, looking back now, acting wasn't satisfying me 100%.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think I was fully satisfied acting. You know, the girlfriend role or the best friend role, and that wasn't enough for me.
I realized that acting was the thing I was still maybe the best at. Of the things I felt like I was good at, that was the thing that came the most naturally to me.
Acting was fun for a while. I loved every minute of the really good things I did but probably wasn't as good as I should have been.
I always felt like acting was something I could just do if I wanted, which was wrong.
I didn't fall in love with acting until I did a few films. Now, I couldn't live without it.
A lot of actors think they can't be happy without the acting... But I think I couldn't be happy with it anymore.
I still have my original love for acting. That's why I feel so lucky. I think that's what sustains me in the sort of leaner times.
Once I found acting and found that I could get away with it and make a living out of it, I was thrilled.
I think the periods of being unsuccessful have made me a better actor.
Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.
