There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight years old and they go, 'Whoa, this is incredible,' and grow up to do extreme sports. It's the same for me with acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I wasn't acting, all I'd do is ride my bike. I've always loved doing that.
When eventually I started to act a bit more, I realised that circus school had taught me something that a lot of actors my age didn't have: physicality. They didn't know how to move. Acting is not all about talking. There is something animalistic about it.
I've been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.
I've been acting since I was 7, and I always knew it was what I wanted to go into.
As we mature and grow older we collect a lot of baggage, and a lot of that stuff you collect on life's journey gets in the way of acting. My kids can imagine a character and transform in the blink of an eye. It's so simple for kids, so complex for adults.
I'm one of relatively few stage-trained actors who doesn't much like acting on stage. It feels kind of like riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, which I did when I was eight. When it was all over, I was glad I had done it, but most of the time when it was actually happening, I was just kind of hanging on for dear life.
I don't know if it's a actor thing or just growing as an adult, but the best thing I've learned is that everyone wants to do a great job, and everyone wants you to do a great job, too!
I've been acting since I was five, and I hope it's something I can do forever. I love it.
It feels like as you get a bit older, you've worked out the things that are good for your life apart from with acting.
Acting can be an amazingly cathartic thing - especially for young girls.
