Even when I was a teen model, I didn't think it was fair that I had to enter the acting world to get insurance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I remember when I was little, much younger than I was when I started modeling, people always said, 'Oh, you should be a model.' But I didn't like people telling me what to do... But I didn't plan to transform into an actress, either. It just happened.
If I hadn't been a model, I couldn't have become a movie actress.
Fifteen years old, out in the world, acting was all I had.
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me.
I was tall and skinny, and at 15, I was approached to model. I figured that models got to travel, and it became my ticket to travel so much so that if an agency could not fly me to another country, I would fly on my cost so that I could see that country and also make some money.
I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that.
I didn't really like modeling; it was fun but I always wanted acting.
I was modeling since I was four and acting in commercials since I was five - this was when I was in New York. I then moved to LA when I was 16... but before that I had done a play on Broadway.
I wanted to become an actor so I didn't have to put on a suit and sell insurance.
I always wanted to be a model, never an actress. I would see children in ads and stuff and wanted to be like them.
