Making a living out of acting sounded like science-fiction when I was growing up. I didn't know anyone around me who lived from anything related to art.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up around acting, but it was never thought of as a career.
I was going to school thinking I was going to do something entirely different, thought acting was just a hobby at that point, met Stanley Kubrick and was like, 'Whoa, this can be an art form, and you can really move people the way you do simply by acting.'
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
My father was a screenwriter, and I kind of grew up in that world.
Acting is an art and a science and there is more to me then that young blonde kid.
I didn't know any actors growing up. My dad was a builder, and we didn't know any arty types.
I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.
I never really considered acting as a career. I kind of fell into it. Originally, I wanted to be a painter.
I was always interested in the arts as a child - drawing, painting, and piano - but acting became a favourite. I was a major theatre geek in high school - if I wasn't in the drama room at lunch rehearsing, I'd be in the art room finishing up some type of project.
I started out to be a painter and was born into the theater.
