At school, I decided I wanted to be a director and then I went out and spent the rest of my adult life trying to be a director. It was really clear to me. So in that sense I was very lucky.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Obviously, I've been very lucky in general in my career, but I feel that I've been very lucky in terms of having directors come along at the right times who have taken me to the next level of where I needed to be.
In a weird way, when I was looking back, I didn't know I was going to be a director until I was.
From the age of 14, I wanted to be a director.

It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone's disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business.

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.
I didn't plan to be a director until I was 35. For years I wanted to do anything but!
