My goal as an actor was to work - to be a working actor, whether it was in theater, and, well, I didn't even consider film and television when I was in New York, but what came along, came along.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater.
My goal has always been to be a working actor.
My goal was not to be famous or rich but to be good at what I did. And that required going to New York and studying and working in the theater.
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
My introduction to acting was through theatre, so I actually saw a couple of Broadway shows that made me want to be an actor.
When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like 'Madea', and 'Night, Mother', and 'Sam Shepard', and all that kind of stuff. That's what I really wanted to do.
I always wanted to be an actor ever since I was a little kid. I knew that I had to do something related to performing arts, and I enjoyed acting the most as it incorporated so many different art forms.
My whole life, I always wanted to be an actor.
A career in film didn't seem like something I could attain. Whereas I grew up next to New York City, and I spent my life going into New York City seeing plays, and I was a theater actor in school. Acting on the stage felt really natural to me, and I liked it, and I wasn't terrible at it.
My goal was simply to be a working actress. I never imagined myself on Broadway.
