But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I entered college, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. My advisor happened to be from the theater department, and he encouraged me to take some classes there, which I did.
I love theatre, and you learn too much as an actor and enjoy too much of it not to want to go back a lot.
I suppose I became in danger of overexposure, which is why, I think, doing theatre for a year is quite a sensible move - just to remember what it's all about, really.
Theater was something that I always wanted to study.
My interest in theatre started in high school, mostly because my dean forced me to do it. I was creating trouble in the hallways, so he demanded that I do something with my spare time.
There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut - it was so bad. I didn't even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn't even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate.
I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.
I did theater for 15 years, and I spent a lot of time as an understudy.
The great thing about doing theater is that you get to do it better the next night.
I had no training in the theater. I did not study it but just did it.
