I didn't start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets.

I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.

When I started in films, it never really occurred to me that I could make a career out of acting.

I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.

I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that. I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.

I was never interested in becoming an actor. I was directing videos. I was never into acting. I was into shooting music videos. I've only ever been behind the camera. Never in front of it.

When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.
