Well, yes, as I was a rather bad actor then and I wasn't making enough money, I thought, to make enough money to not make money as an actor, I'd better do some writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started writing because I wasn't getting things as an actor.
I didn't become an actor to make money. And I didn't become an actor to be famous - though people always gasp if you say that, as if it's unfathomable that an actor doesn't want to be a star.
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.
I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.
I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.
The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.
I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
I didn't become an actor because I thought I'd make lots of money.
I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
