What drew me to acting in the first place was disguise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Until I came out, my acting was all about disguise, and thereafter it became about telling the truth.
What once was an expression of who I was - acting - also became my hiding place.
Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on.
For me, acting was something I fell into.
Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.
My first acting experience was a non-speaking role as a robot. My costume was a cardboard box covered in tinfoil, but I was so shy I refused to go on stage.
I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.
I remember thinking, 'I can't act.' Pretending to be someone else is a terrifying thought. The thing was that, along with other people, I could create a whole world. I felt absolutely right directing.
Acting was always a secret desire of mine when I was growing up.
Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn't something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn't exist.
