People think that I changed my name. I could've been an actress, a superhero, or a stripper.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm convinced that had I not changed my name, I don't think I would have had quite the same career curve that I eventually had.
I would have changed my last name if being famous were my goal.
If you had asked me back in grade school what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said my first choice was an actor, but if I couldn't be that, I'd want to be a superhero.
I'd never really considered film. If I'd thought about film more growing up, I probably would have changed my name. I had no concept of my name in lights.
I wanted to take on my full name, which was sort of a crazy thing to do considering that we're in Hollywood.
It's a strange thing to be a so-called alternative cartoonist, because in the early part of my career, I was really tethered to the superhero world.
I have changed so much as an actor over the years.
It was very natural that people just think of me as a comic actor.
I've always maintained my name will not define my films, my films will define my name. But I wish I was called Steve, or something else.
My acting ability would have sent me back to the post office. It was my singing that got me jobs. Ironically, now, people think of me as an actor and don't know me much as a singer.
