The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
All I wanted to do was be a working actor.
I've wanted to be an actor ever since I was a little boy.
Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be an actor.
When I was younger, all I wanted to do was be a singer, and then I got into a great acting class in New York and became obsessed with that.
I grew up in Manhattan and, since my father was a playwright, all I ever wanted to be was a stage actress.
I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater.
When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like 'Madea', and 'Night, Mother', and 'Sam Shepard', and all that kind of stuff. That's what I really wanted to do.
I wanted to be a stage actor but I got stuck on television. It took a couple of years to get used to.
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.
