I had to study acting to basically educate myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job.
I started to study, because I knew I had to learn a lot about myself as an actor; you can't act the same as you did as a child.
As for acting, I took drama lessons when I was in high school.
Acting was a slow-burn thing. I found it was something I really, really liked doing, but it wasn't until my third year at drama school that I actually thought, 'Oh, right, I'm trained for this now; I'd better see if I can do it.'
I haven't actually studied acting at all.
If I wasn't acting, I'd be teaching acting. That would be my easiest thing to fall back on is teaching it.
I did a lot of student acting when I was young.
I went to a very academic school that actually - when I got to the point of wanting to pursue acting, they just had no idea how to do that, because all of their contacts were very academic.
I'm not someone who went to acting school - I was just out of the gate, doing it.
I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.
