I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.

I loved acting when I was doing it, but getting the jobs I didn't understand because I'd never had to do it. That was a difficult lesson for me. It was very humbling and very bizarre.

I wasn't into acting when I was a kid. Maybe because I was shy or it didn't occur to me.

When I was a kid, I didn't know how I got into acting.

I had no inclination to perform as a kid. I was a shy child - I always had my nose in a library book. I didn't start acting until I went to college. Once I started, it seemed to fit like a glove. I felt completely at home on stage. It was the perfect way for me to express myself, even better than writing.

When eventually I started to act a bit more, I realised that circus school had taught me something that a lot of actors my age didn't have: physicality. They didn't know how to move. Acting is not all about talking. There is something animalistic about it.

I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.

I loved acting as a kid because I was kind of shy, so it brought me out of myself.

For a long time, I can't say I was one who really enjoyed acting. I was always censoring it, or editing it, or analyzing it, rather than just going with it.

I'd done some acting stuff when I was younger, around age nine.
