I honed my passion for acting in theatre and education, and I think it's important not to belittle the child audience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being a part of the theater community has been important to me from the time I was a child, through my parents.
As a child, acting just seemed like a natural extension of my love of play - and if you've forgotten how to play, you shouldn't be an actor.
All children are natural actors, and I'm still a kid. If you grow up completely, you can never be an actor.
I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.
I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids' bits. I've always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.
My children are unaffected by me being an actress because that's the way I like to keep it. I love the fact that they are so innocent about my star status. Sometimes, they come running to me and say, 'Mom, you are on TV.'
I wasn't into acting when I was a kid. Maybe because I was shy or it didn't occur to me.
I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
Why, when I was a child, I didn't say, as most children do, that I was going to become an actress. I felt that I was an actress and no one could have convinced me that I wasn't!
I wasn't a child who wanted to be an actor.
