I was always telling my family I wanted to become an actress, and I did.

I remember running up to my dad and saying, 'I want to be an actor when I grow up!' And him saying, 'Yeah, well we'll talk about it.'

I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.

When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, my mom was, like, 'I think I heard you say lawyer.'

My mom says that when I was a little kid, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I don't remember that.

I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.

When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, it was like saying I wanted to be an astronaut. Not because it was highfalutin' in any way - just because they didn't know anybody in that field. They were anxious of a profession they knew nothing about.

I knew I wanted to become an actor when I was 7 years old. My dad was working with Alfred Hitchcock, my mom was working with Martin Scorsese - and it was the great summer of my childhood.

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.
