I got my first acting role because I was a singer.

I trained as a singer before I was an actor. I was a kid singer, I went to theater and choir school, and then I got music scholarships throughout my education. And that's what I was going to do. And then I took a left turn and went to drama school and became an actor.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

My acting ability would have sent me back to the post office. It was my singing that got me jobs. Ironically, now, people think of me as an actor and don't know me much as a singer.

My singing led into acting, and that is how I discovered acting.

I didn't know whether I wanted to be an actress or a singer then.

I always knew I wanted to work in entertainment, but I actually really wanted to be a singer more than an actress.

I only know acting. But had I learnt singing earlier, I would have become a singer.

The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.
