The thing is that I'm an actor first, and in 'Once,' I was able to be a musician and a singer as well as an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.
The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer.
I trained as a singer before I was an actor. I was a kid singer, I went to theater and choir school, and then I got music scholarships throughout my education. And that's what I was going to do. And then I took a left turn and went to drama school and became an actor.
I was always one of those fortunate people who never wanted to be anything other than a singer and an actor. Most people know me as a singer, but I am also an actor.
Originally I studied as a musician, a classical pianist. That was my career before I took up acting in my late 20s.
After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.
I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.
I've been a musician longer than I've been an actor.
Music always came first. I never set out to be an actor.
I got my first acting role because I was a singer.
