I would tell anyone who wanted to be an actor not to bother with drama school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I had gone to drama school, I wouldn't be sitting here now because it would have blanded me out; it would have just turned me into another actor.
There are lots of people in the world who do have the advantage of going to a good drama school and just decide that they want to be actors. There's nothing wrong with an untrained actor; they have to get their training somehow, they have to learn.
I got into university to study graphic design, and I got into drama school as well, so I had the choice whether I wanted to go down the sensible route or if I wanted to become an actor.
When I got into drama school, that's when I knew that I could safely say that I wanted to be a professional actor.
People would be surprised to know that I've gone to regular school my whole life, and I don't have one friend who is an actor!
I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was growing up, really. So when I decided to go to university instead of drama school, it was with the intention of becoming an actor afterwards.
The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.
I actually didn't always want to be an actor.
I didn't want to be an actor.
I wouldn't be the same actor if I couldn't do theater.
