Right after I left drama school, I had a job.

I've never worked as hard as when I was at drama school. It's the most professional environment I've ever been in.

I did all sorts of jobs after drama school - working in a bar, as a teaching assistant. I probably learned as much from them as I did at drama school.

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

So in my junior year, I switched to the drama department.

And I've been lucky in that I haven't had another job besides acting in the last five years.

I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.

I was quite young when I went to a drama workshop. I was around 9 or 10. I showed interest in it. I never saw it as a career. At around 16, I knew what I wanted to do.

I was a drama major through college.

When I left school I went to Australia for a year and worked in the drama department of a school in Perth.
