I think that if someone told me I could have been a visual artist, I might have been a visual artist instead. And if I'd known I could have done art history, I would have done that. But I just didn't know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would have been a visual artist. When I was in high school, that was one of the things... I had to make a decision what I was going to go to college for, and at the time, I also painted and sculpted. I got more attention for my performing, so I thought that was a better idea.
If I hadn't been a designer, I'd have been a painter. I began as a painter and learned the craft of pottery in order to support myself.
I would have loved to have been a painter or a sculptor. I'm still fascinated by those things.
I was a painter before I was a writer, so I was always a visual artist. And my writing, to me, was always visual.
If I hadn't turned out to be a filmmaker, I would have been a musician.
The only logical thing I can think of is that I knew there were such things as artists, and I knew there were none where I lived. So I knew that to be an artist you had to be somewhere else. And I very much wanted to be somewhere else.
If I were very handsome, maybe I'd have been an actor.
I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.
If I didn't choose art, I would have become an astronomer.
I think I always knew that I would do something with art because it was the one thing that I knew I was really good at.
