Drama school is a pretty intense experience, and I think it changes who you are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never went to drama school, but I did learn a couple of things along the way.
The wonderful thing about drama school is that it stretches you in a way the industry doesn't.
Drama school was a lifeline for me, it saved me. I found it very nurturing - I just clung on.
What you don't get necessarily at drama school is a gigantic mix of people. At university, there's people from every social background, and you get to go through that period of being naive and not quite sure who you're going to be.
I always wanted to go to a drama school.
The weird thing about drama school is that you train for three years for one thing, and then, more often than not, it's something that you haven't trained for that you end up doing.
I took a drama class in elementary school, and I just remember having so much fun with it. From there, I just studied, got better as I went along, and continued to grow.
I think so often you can come out of drama school and get thrown in the deep end.
Drama school was the first place I learned that looks can affect your career. It was very horrible at the time. I had a lot of very bad experiences at drama school because of that, from the teachers and the students. In the end, I think it was good for me because it hardened me to the realities of the business early on.
I never went to a drama school or anything. I just gave it my best shot, and everyone seemed to like it, so I carried on doing it.
