I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started going to acting school when I was 14, and I would always have my own take on things.
I feel lucky. I think acting can help to keep you young. It does make you feel there's meaning in your life.
Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think.
I love spending time with young people. I love to hear about what they think. It keeps me young. And they need role models.
My teachers probably tried to get me interested in other things at school, but I was very young when I decided that I wanted to act. By the time I was 12, I was hell-bent on it.
I think that when I was child, acting was mostly just a hobby for me. It was something that my parents encouraged me to think of the way that my brothers thought of their cross-country classes, or my little sister to dance classes and art classes, and it was something like that for me.
I enjoy acting more and more than when I was 17.
It feels like as you get a bit older, you've worked out the things that are good for your life apart from with acting.
I didn't want to be behind a desk. I didn't want to do a normal job. I had made my mind up. I became despondent prematurely. I had my mid-life crisis when I was 16. I suppose I'd agree with that. But acting has helped me develop a lot in my private life.
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.
