My parents say that even as a very, very little kid, the way that I acted was dramatically different from other little kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was very driven to act from a very young age, and my parents were not only tolerant of that drive but also encouraging.
I wasn't into acting when I was a kid. Maybe because I was shy or it didn't occur to me.
Children learn much more from how you act than from what you tell them. There are times this worries me - we parents are rarely the role models we want to be. True for life. True for driving.
I have this idea of myself as this quiet, observant, thoughtful child, which my parents roundly contradict. They claim that I was loud and bossy and dancing all the time.
My parents made certain I had no illusions about acting. To them, it was always just a job.
I think when someone becomes an actor, people say, Aw, you could see it in him when he was little. But I think you can see that quality in every little kid.
Children at certain ages have distinct actions, and boys at certain ages have a particular way of acting too.
I was always different from all the other kids, and I was doing things that nobody else did or seemed to have any interest in.
I had a really normal childhood except I acted. It was like, my brother played soccer, and I was on television sometimes.
I've always been told I was extremely well-behaved as a kid.
