Acting wasn't some long-held dream, and it still isn't, really. I'm just trying to make some money and pay the bills.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The reason why I found acting is because my father passed away. He passed away really young. I was going to go to med school. My father's dream was that all of his kids become doctors. I realized in school I didn't like it. When he died, it was like a wake-up call. Life is too short to do something you don't want to do.
I never imagined being able to make money from acting - and now I can.
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.
I haven't really focused so much on getting acting work.
I didn't pursue acting as a career until I got my first job. I didn't think I could make a living at it. You hear such horror stories about how hard it is to get work as an actor. It is hard, but I decided to roll with it.
Never thought acting was something you could make a living at. It wasn't until I was in college, and got a lead in a play, that I began to realize I might just be able to blunder into this profession.
Acting is something I always wanted to do and knew I could do.
I can't afford to step away from acting, but the one thing I've learnt after all these years is that I don't fit in. It's very difficult to be at the mercy of other people's whims and visions.
Well, acting has been a dream of mine since I can remember; being in the movies and acting, having those experiences.
Since I graduated college, all I have ever done for a living was acting.
