There was a small window when I wanted to be an astronaut. It may have coincided with not getting cast in a high school play.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't really decide that I wanted to be an astronaut for sure until the end of college.
But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.
I've been lucky enough to do theatre, film, and television for a career. Unless I get offered a job as an astronaut, I won't stray too far from it.
I came to America to become an architect. And somewhere along the line while I was still in school, I was lured into theater, and that's how I became interested in theater. My first play was something called 'A Banquet for the Moon.' It was a weird play.
I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.
I always wanted to be an astronaut.
I never declared I wanted to be an astronaut, as I considered that was presumptuous.
Well, for me it really wasn't a case of deciding to be an astronaut.
I progressed through my schooling, undergraduate and graduate degrees, excited about math and science and engineering, but really didn't think about being an astronaut at that point. It was kind of unreachable.
