I still take acting, singing, and dance classes. I think no matter where you go in your career, you can always learn more and better yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I sang a lot in college - I was in a choral group in college. But, then, when I moved to New York, I really just concentrated on acting.
I actually moved from engineering to acting. I think what's important is how talented and passionate you are.
The music industry is something that I'm still trying to understand. With acting, I've been doing it for so long that I understand every aspect of it for the most part - there are obviously still more aspects that I need to learn - but I have a grasp on it. With music, I'm still learning. I'm still getting used to it.
I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.
I was at college studying psychology, philosophy, textiles and drama. But because I wasn't one of those all-singing, all-dancing stage-school kids, I just assumed I'd never become an actor.
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
Originally I studied as a musician, a classical pianist. That was my career before I took up acting in my late 20s.
Growing up, I was always in my high school musicals and everything, but I kind of stopped doing all that when I finished school and acting became my main priority.
I trained as a singer before I was an actor. I was a kid singer, I went to theater and choir school, and then I got music scholarships throughout my education. And that's what I was going to do. And then I took a left turn and went to drama school and became an actor.
One of the hard things in my life has been balancing my education with my acting career, because I've been acting since the age of seven, on and off, just doing little parts and things. I've always been very keen to stay in school.
