I Never Wanted To Be An Actor. My Dad Was An Actor, And He Never Brought Joy Home, So I Didn't View It As Something That I Would Want To Do. But I Got Fired As A Secretary, And Then I Started Studying, I Started Doing It Just To Earn Money. And It Took Me A Long Time To Learn To Love It. And What I Loved Was Telling A Story. I Tried To Avoid Making Plays Or Films That Weren't Telling A Story That I Felt Was Important.
