The thing that happened… I grew up in middle class, which I’m glad I did as opposed to upper class or lower class. So upper class, I feel like I’ve seen it where people don’t necessarily have a motivation. I had a motivation. I knew I had to make a living doing something and I was glad that I wasn’t poor either. Because that can just be difficult. So to be middle class is a good, proper motivator to do stuff. So I was motivated at a young age to have a vocation. And at a very young age, my first interest was to be a geologist. I still find it interesting. Um, but uh, I started realizing, I was thinking like, you know, this is when I’m like nine, 10 years old I think you will have a pith helmet and a chisel and break open geodes and find beautiful crystals and then realized, no, I probably have to work for an international geothermal oil company in terrible locations, which didn’t sound that fun.
So then I saw that my father– I could see that it was actually an industry that had certain logical steps in it. And I felt like it was something that I could do. I don’t feel like I’m a natural born actor. I started studying professionally when I was 15. And I studied from 15 to 20 quite extensively. My father also teaches acting, but I never studied with him. I’m sure I pick things up, but I never studied with him professionally or I never went to a class with my father, but I did study professionally in other classes and I do feel like it was, and still is a value for me. Actually, I started professionally at age 13, so it was a professional decision to have made at a young age, which I’m glad I did. I think it was a good decision.
Yeah, definitely. I mean, you’re sitting here, so I think it was. Also, that’s a very impressive decision for 13-year-old to make.
