Acting is something I always wanted to do and knew I could do.

I kind of dwindled into acting.

Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.

Acting is the only thing I ever really wanted to do, and I'm really ill-prepared to do anything else.

I was an activist long before I even entertained the possibility of being an actor.

I never thought I would become an actress. I always wanted to get into politics, and I moved to Argentina and worked for the U.S. embassy for a bit. It sort of happened upon me when I was home for the holiday - acting, that is - and I stuck with it.

I just happened to step into acting. And now I can't imagine myself doing anything else.

My sights have always been on acting, on the creative process, never the lifestyle. Growing up in Northern Ireland when I did, everything was against you if you wanted to do something like that. But I was determined.
