I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.

I was 18 when I got my first acting job.

I was scouted at the age of 10 by a Hollywood agent. I was a really shy, geeky-looking thing, and started in the industry by doing 'extra' work on films.

If you were in the film industry at that time, you were always picked up by directors who were much older. You were whisked about and shown things. I did work very hard though.

From the age of 14, I wanted to be a director.

I started my career as an actor, but I've been a director for 15 years now.

I got started as an actor when I was 12.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I started making 8mm films when I was 13, so I've been directing for 21 years.
