I was 36, and I had decided to quit acting because it was so disappointing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't actually begin professionally acting until I was 30.
At one point in my 20s, I was about to quit acting. I'd had a crappy couple of years and I was depressed. My mom said, 'Don't give up! You'll be so mad at yourself.'
I became an actor when I was 22.
I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that.
I kind of knew it wasn't going to be until my 30s that I really hit my stride as an actor.
I was 40 when I did my first movie.
From the time I was 16 to really up until turning 21, the roles were really, really few and far between. I had people say that I just wasn't a good singer. They didn't know what to do with me; I would never fit in any markets. I almost quit acting altogether.
Fifteen years old, out in the world, acting was all I had.
I didn't get into entertainment until I was like 31. I didn't star in a movie until I was 46.
The truth is that from the age of 14, I felt about 40, and for that reason, I felt that I would never succeed as an actor until my looks caught up with my actual age.
