I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first thought in life was wanting to be an actor. I was in ballet slippers and on pointe as soon as I could walk. I always wanted to be an actress, not a mother or housewife.
I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.
My whole life, I always wanted to be an actor.
I had done some commercial work in junior high and stuff - my mother would bring me into the city, and we'd go on these crazy castings. Acting was something I always dreamed of doing... it was my passion when I was young.
I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater.
I actually wanted to be an exotic dancer, but that didn't work out so I thought I'd take on acting.
I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
I took ballet dancing forever, and there was a natural transition into acting.
When I was a dancer, I was acting.
I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.
