I like to use all of myself, and acting wasn't doing that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting was never something I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so it was easy to walk away.
I like to say that I didn't choose acting - acting chose me.
I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.
What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time, but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.
Everything about acting was either the opposite of my personality or it just didn't seem like something I wanted to be a part of.
Acting is what I do. It's not what I solely define myself as.
When I'm acting, that's all I'm doing. When I'm not acting, I'm not thinking about acting. If I'm writing, I'm just writing.
Acting is a whole boatload of fun, but I prefer to do it on my own terms.
What attracted me to acting, from the start, was playing different characters. I'm not a massive fan of just playing myself on screen.
If I wasn't acting, I would be trying to break into acting.
