I wanted to be a professional singer/actress, though I knew it would be hard.

I didn't know whether I wanted to be an actress or a singer then.

I got my first acting role because I was a singer.

I always knew I wanted to work in entertainment, but I actually really wanted to be a singer more than an actress.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

My whole life, I always wanted to be an actor.

Well, the first thing I wanted to be was a carpenter. Then I wanted to be a painter and then a singer. It was when I first saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' that I wanted to be an actor.

Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef - but that's only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't ever believe that I was good enough to be come one.

I trained as a singer before I was an actor. I was a kid singer, I went to theater and choir school, and then I got music scholarships throughout my education. And that's what I was going to do. And then I took a left turn and went to drama school and became an actor.
