When I started off many years ago, I made a determination that there were certain roles I didn't want to play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
I kept turning down roles because I knew I just wasn't ready for them.
I've always felt like I've had the ability to choose which roles I was going to play. I don't think that the industry agreed with me, but I've always had a bit of a headstrong attitude of only doing the things that I really believe in and want to explore.
When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.
I know I'm responsible for not having got the kind of roles that I'd have liked to. '
My goal is to just keep playing roles that are different from the roles I've played before.
I always wanted to act, but I never thought it would be my profession. I thought that I'd end up doing other things, but that in the meantime I'd do plays.
I've played a lot of roles I haven't wanted to play, either because they needed someone in the theatre or because they couldn't do it without me 'cause they don't have anyone else the right age.
I remember feeling that. I couldn't do, nor did I want to do, the kinds of roles I'd been doing.
The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.
