I told everybody that I was going to be an actress in Hollywood one day. People looked at me like I was crazy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always telling my family I wanted to become an actress, and I did.
Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.
Everyone at home thought I was nuts when I said I wanted to be an actress, and I'm sure they were just trying to protect me from disappointment.
For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.
I knew I wanted to be an actress, but I hadn't ever really told anyone. I'd always got quite good grades, so people assumed I would go and do a 'normal' job. My dad took me to my first audition for drama school and picked me up without anyone knowing, really.
I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
You know, when you start, especially with me, I didn't really know I was going to be a movie actress. I thought I was going to do theater.
When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got.
I always wanted to be an actor, but I just never told anyone. I had this superstition that if I said it out loud, it wouldn't come true.
As a kid, I never thought I'd be an actress. Never, ever, ever, no way. I was really shy - bordering on social disorder shy - and I was really academic.
