In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn't very good at sports.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I played sports growing up in high school.
Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.
I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.
I took high school very casually. There was Teen Town, chess, tennis, boxing, running. Lots of things going on.
My belief is that sports in school is not an extracurricular activity.
I never did any sports at school. It wasn't until I moved to America, to New York, when I was about 20 that I actually thought that if I wanted to be an actress I might have to start working out.
I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.
I played every sport in high school for one year. If I couldn't be great at it, I quit. I would rather not do it than be average.
But at school, I wasn't athletic, and if you're not athlete in high school, it's kind of hard to find your place, so play practice seemed perfect, especially if you were as uncoordinated as I was.
I played sports in high school and in college.
