For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

My mother's father was a doctor, and she desperately wanted to be a doctor.

When I was at school, I wanted to be a lawyer.

I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.

I'm from a family of doctors, and I think they really wanted me to be a doctor. I even sort of assumed I would be a doctor.

When I was younger, I was an avid science girl. I was all about, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' Even when I graduated, I was like, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' Even though I did acting and I was in plays and drama clubs in high school and college, I still didn't think I was going to take it on as a career.

For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.

I didn't want to play a lawyer. I didn't want to play a doctor. I didn't want to play a single dad. I wanted to do something I felt I could learn from, something that would be a challenge and something that would not dry up.
