The rule with my mom was that the only way that I could be an actress when I was young was that I continued to go to public school and get straight A's in all my classes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was five, I always told my mom I would want to be an actor.
I didn't want to become an actress because the competition with my mother would have been to much to live up to.
Then, when I was a senior in high school, I was kind of bereft and she put me in an acting class.
I announced to my mother one day when I was 8 that I wanted to be a serious actress.
As a kid, I never thought I'd be an actress. Never, ever, ever, no way. I was really shy - bordering on social disorder shy - and I was really academic.
My mom kind of led me toward acting. She wanted to be an actress when she was younger. That made me interested in it when I was a kid, because she and I are very close.
I grew up watching movies and television, and one day when I was really young I told my mom I wanted to become an actor, and she was really supportive and got me involved in local theater and commercials. From there I moved up to auditioning for movies and television.
I'm sure my mum was a huge influence on my wanting to be an actress: just seeing her doing it, seeing her love it, caring about it. Invest in something, take it seriously and be so wonderful.
When I was probably 5 or 6, my mother put me into an acting, singing, and dancing class.
My mom was incredibly supportive when she found out that I wanted to be an actress, and that certainly made things easier and more fun.
