I had had enough pretend. I wanted to be in the real world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pretend was a big part of my childhood.
I was raised to pretend.
I wanted to be left alone to live my life, so it was very easy for people to pretend that they were me.
As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.
If you're gonna pretend to be something, then you have to at least live up to what it is.
I was always a 'let's pretend' kind of kid.
To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend.
I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination.
I remember thinking, 'I can't act.' Pretending to be someone else is a terrifying thought. The thing was that, along with other people, I could create a whole world. I felt absolutely right directing.
I liked pretending to be other people: I could reinvent myself, reinvent my own reality.
