I'd always much rather be second choice on anything because it makes you work harder.

I'm incredibly lucky that my profession allows me to be where I choose, really.

If you're lucky enough to pick what you do, that's the greatest career you can have. Ultimately, that's my goal: to have choices.

Each of my career decisions has been very much about doing what I wanted to achieve in the role and then finding another challenge.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.

I am not surprised that they show no intention to follow in my footsteps, although if I had a second chance myself, I would certainly try to repeat my present career.

I always knew that I wanted to work and I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actor. I knew that every choice I made would help me get to that point. So the better the choices I made, the more of a chance I would have to get to where I wanted to be.

My advice is to make acting your second career choice.

I just decided I wanted to become someone else... So I became someone else.
