As much as I appreciate acting and enjoy it, and like it, it wasn't something where I grew up wanting to be a movie star.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.
I enjoyed acting growing up; I did musical theater. I had a secret desire to be a television and movie actress, but it wasn't something I admitted to myself that I wanted to do, I guess.
Once I found acting and found that I could get away with it and make a living out of it, I was thrilled.
A career in film didn't seem like something I could attain. Whereas I grew up next to New York City, and I spent my life going into New York City seeing plays, and I was a theater actor in school. Acting on the stage felt really natural to me, and I liked it, and I wasn't terrible at it.
I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
I never wanted to be an actor. I got stuck in it and kind of liked what I was doing.
Acting was something I always wanted to try. I just didn't know how, or I didn't know when the door was gonna be open for me to try it. But it finally opened up for me when I did 'Turn It Up', and ever since then I've been in love with doing films.
Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.
Before I even knew what that half of my family did, I was interested in performing. I remember being seven years old and up on a stage and loving it. I've always adored it. Not just acting, but the whole process of writing and directing movies, everything that has to do with that part of life. Maybe it's in my blood.
When I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star. At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did.
