If I could do anything, I'd be an engineer of some sort. I used to build robots.
I wanted to become an engineer, or get a masters in business. But I had the opportunity to do films when I was about 25 and it was a great way to express myself.
My childhood dream was to study mechanical engineering. After reading 'The Mysterious Island' - which I read 25 times as a boy - I thought that was the best thing a person could do.

I wanted to be a plumber.
When I was young I had an apprenticeship as an engineer.
When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be an architect, because when I was 12 years old I had a guidance counselor that convinced me that that was the best career choice for me.

I wanted to be an architect. I used to draw houses and buildings and construct buildings on my own.
