A lot of people have asked whether acting is in my genes. I don't know if anyone is born to act. And it certainly wasn't pushed on me. It was something I wanted to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I first started acting, everyone in my family did not want me to act.
I don't know if acting is genetic. Maybe it's environmental.
I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.
Well, acting was just in me and I tried to avoid it. I didn't want to do what my parents did, you know?
I am passionate about acting. 'Girls in our family are not allowed to act' is quite an outdated thought to have. They did it till my mother, but now no more.
It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man.
My parents made certain I had no illusions about acting. To them, it was always just a job.
I was never really acting. I was not taking it seriously. Acting was very much a hobby for me. It wasn't really until I was finishing college and doing it sporadically that I began to take it seriously.
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.
By the time I grew up, acting just seemed like something I'd already done. I had absolutely no interest in it, even though some people thought it would be my calling.
