Growing up, I was always adamant that I would never do 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours,' because as an actor you want to set your path as that serious kind of actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had to take false steps and go through hard times to come out to where I am now. I can't imagine living without acting. It's not easy, and I don't disrespect anyone who steps out of it after a certain point. Having a family and a house is cool. It's not a betrayal. But if you're going to be an actor, it has to be more than a passing interest.
I think I'm a better actress for having friends and interests outside the theatre. I wouldn't want to live my life surrounded by other actors all the time.
When I was doing 'Neighbours,' I was aiming to go to university, then go to med school, but I realised I could make a better living from acting.
My nomadic childhood dramatically fed my eventual decision to be an actor, but not in the way you might think.
I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.
I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.
I was always enamored with TV shows and movies. But you didn't grow up in my town and turn into an actor.
I've always felt like the reason I became an actor is because I look for more high drama than what I had at home.
I was never really a child actor. I was working sporadically in indie films in Pennsylvania, but I was still living at home.
I guess I've always wanted to push the boundaries as an actor.
