I became an actress because I'm lazy. I wouldn't apply myself at school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wouldn't apply myself at school. I was quite bright, but I didn't do much with it, and I thought acting was dressing up and shouting for a living.
I started out as a music teacher; I never planned on becoming an actress.
I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.
I didn't grow up wanting to be an actor, and I didn't go to acting school.
I got pigeonholed a bit. When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted to be the kind of actress I became.
I wasn't even prepared to be an actress. I was 17 when I came out of high school, and suddenly became Miss World and then I became an actress.
I didn't become an actor because I thought I'd make lots of money.
Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress.
I did everything in my power not to be an actress. I went off and did a teacher-training course first, so I could teach English and Drama - because I'm not thick, surprisingly enough.
The three things I said when I came out of school were I want to work consistently, I want to do good work and I want to be paid fairly, and that's happened. But I didn't become an actress for the money. I do it for other reasons.
