I played a scene at the end of my first year, and that's how I was discovered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.
I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.
I was in a lot of school plays, and it became the thing I did.
It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it.
I spent 12 years doing different things in film trying to figure out the story I wanted to tell.
Then I became interested in drama, and almost by accident, I drifted into film.
I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.
In a weird way, when I was looking back, I didn't know I was going to be a director until I was.
I came from the theater playing leading roles, and when I started doing film and television, I felt as if I had to start from the bottom.
I don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.
