What you don't get necessarily at drama school is a gigantic mix of people. At university, there's people from every social background, and you get to go through that period of being naive and not quite sure who you're going to be.
I had a great drama teacher, and he sort of made out drama school as this incredibly difficult thing to get into: 6,000 people apply every year, and some of the schools only have 12 places. It's a phenomenally difficult thing to get into. And that excited me - I wanted that challenge.
I took a drama class in elementary school, and I just remember having so much fun with it. From there, I just studied, got better as I went along, and continued to grow.
I was discouraged at drama school, along with most of my peers.
There are lots of people who haven't been to drama school who have great talent and can be discovered.
I went to uni and then drama school afterwards and lived in quite a few student houses.
Drama school is a pretty intense experience, and I think it changes who you are.
I started drama in high school.
I never went to a drama school or anything. I just gave it my best shot, and everyone seemed to like it, so I carried on doing it.
I never went to drama school, but I did learn a couple of things along the way.
