When I was told that I was being offered a role in 'Miss Julie,' I already knew I wanted to do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
I've always wanted to play 'Lady Macbeth' and Strindberg's 'Miss Julie'.
I don't remember sitting down and saying, 'This is why I want to be - an actress.' I just knew. It was never a conscious decision or a revelation.
I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.
Although I did end up trying out several different fields before committing to acting, I knew in the deepest part of heart that I wanted to be an actress.
I never really decided to be an actress, but I got an agent, was called back on every show I auditioned for, and finally decided I was meant to be an actress.
When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got.
I was booed at the premiere of 'Miss Julie,' a remarkably stimulating experience.
They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.
