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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn't something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn't exist.
By the time I grew up, acting just seemed like something I'd already done. I had absolutely no interest in it, even though some people thought it would be my calling.
What attracted me to acting, from the start, was playing different characters. I'm not a massive fan of just playing myself on screen.
When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.
Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.
Acting was never something I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so it was easy to walk away.
The basic answer is that I wasn't happy or fulfilled by the job I had and I wanted my life to mean something to me, so I searched my life experience and realized that acting and performing were activities that I enjoyed all aspects of.
It would be easy to say that I want to play a role that was very much like myself, but more or less with acting, you get to be all these different things, and you aren't trying to be yourself, so it's escapism in a way.
I went into acting because I'm easily bored. Acting seemed to give vent to a lot of different feelings.
I always felt like acting was something I could just do if I wanted, which was wrong.
