I am a competitive figure skater. I've been doing that for the same amount of time I've been doing acting. Ever since I was two.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There were a couple of years where I was skating and acting at the same time.
So for me having that element of being able to be competitive wasn't a problem. I'm very competitive. I thought if I could skate first, acting would come second. I could say my lines and then go do what I was saying. You don't have to fake it, you're not really acting.
I competitively ice skate, and I also dance, and I do a lot of theater, which also involves a lot, a lot of physicality, because you have to do a lot of fast changes.
Acting is easier than skating in a way and harder in other aspects. In skating, you get one chance, and with acting you get to do it over and over.
I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.
Acting is something I've done since I was six years old, performing for my mum and my family in the living room, and I do it because my heart's in it.
I've been acting since I was six years old, but not professionally.
To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.
Acting is like roller skating. Once you know how to do it, it is neither stimulating nor exciting.
I've been acting professionally since I was 24, and it's the only job I've ever done.
