As a boy, I was never interested in theater because I came from a working-class Scottish home. I thought, 'I want to do movies.' Then it was finding the means to do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be honest, I was never really interested in theatre as a kid.
I watched movies and thought, 'I want to be in movies,' and wanted to be an actor.
I was not interested by cinema when I was young.
In high school, theater was all I ever wanted to do. I didn't see that I was going to set it aside for so many years and take a right turn into television. Of course, wanting to do theater is something you hear a lot from actors. I think I've been embarrassed to be in that big cliche.
I love doing movies but I loved doing theatre just as much.
I got into theater at an early age.
I was always interested in it when I was younger, but it was when I was at university, getting together with other like-minded theatrically inclined types, that I admitted to myself that I wanted to be an actor.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
As a boy, I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that.
I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.
