All of my experiences modeling, acting, doing theater, it's all in the work now. And the work freed me to transform myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've acted my whole life pretty much, but then just got more into modelling.
As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.
What I find most interesting about acting is transforming myself.
I never really considered acting as a career. I kind of fell into it. Originally, I wanted to be a painter.
I'd always enjoyed acting, but modeling was so time-consuming - and lucrative - that I didn't pursue it.
Because modeling is lucrative, I'm able to save up and be more particular about the acting roles I take.
I became an actress way into my 30s because I thought that I had to find my own way, and that's why I worked so much in modelling, until I realised that the differences between acting and modelling weren't that great. I always say that modelling is a little bit like being a silent actress.
I love working with actors, and it's all been based on my being trained in the theater.
I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
Acting is something I'm interested in, and I'll keep going to auditions, but modelling is my main job.
