Before I became an actress, I was a cellist. I've been playing since I was 14, was in a lot of bands, and acting was more of a hobby.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Originally I studied as a musician, a classical pianist. That was my career before I took up acting in my late 20s.
Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.
In terms of acting, I've been acting from a very young age. I've always loved it and wanted to have a career in acting or something to do with it.
I'd done some acting stuff when I was younger, around age nine.
I didn't start acting until I was in college, which was in the 70's.
I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.
I always wanted to be a filmmaker, but I started acting when I was 9 years old. I looked a certain part that I wasn't, really. I played, you know, a high school jock with a lot of attitude or a spoiled rich kid, and I was neither of those things. I was from a very working-class family in Van Nuys.
I grew up around acting, but it was never thought of as a career.
I got my first acting role because I was a singer.
I played basketball. I went to school and played basketball and was trying to pursue that as a career path and kind of just fell into acting.
