I've always been a bit of an orphan, because actors say, 'Well, he's more of a dancer.' And dancers say, 'No. He's really a singer.' And singers say, 'No. He's an actor.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.
When I was a dancer, I was acting.
I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
And I think that's why I was going to be a musician. I was very rebellious. And I didn't want to be an actor. My father used to say to me you should be an actor if you want to be in the arts.
I'm a much better singer than actor, which doesn't really say a whole lot.
Here in America, every single actor, since they were little boys, they sing and dance and perform like angels. We don't do that. We are actors who work in a theater in very classic performances or plays.
I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.
I'm an actor, but I'm an artist.
My dad is a director/producer and my mom is a dancer; she performed with Alvin Ailey, but I didn't even think about becoming an actress.
