anyone hard
I've never seen anyone die. It's hard to imagine what it would be like.
audience classes famous grammar loved morning moving recognized saturday sent since truly
Ever since my mother sent me to Saturday morning grammar classes when I was 7, I wanted to become a famous actor. I loved the idea of captivating an audience and moving them truly through performance, but more importantly being recognized and heavily lauded for that talent.
age since stopped
I've been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.
becomes entertainment life public sort truly
Having one's image, and effectively, life, democratized, dehumanizes and sometimes objectifies it into an entertainment product. What sort of valuation of the ego would one have once you've let it been preyed upon by the public for years and years? Perhaps, it becomes truly just skin and bones.
ancient hebrew lecturer masters philosophy
I'd like to be an academic, a philosophy lecturer if possible. I'd do a Masters in Ancient Hebrew maybe, and a Ph.D. hopefully, if I get in.
family known slightly
I find it slightly uncomfortable to see my face on a bus or a poster. I like just being known by my friends and family.
changes living relationship
When you make a living from something, it changes your relationship with it.
It's interesting sometimes when an audience can empathize with a villain.
gone suit
I wanted to be an academic when I was 19 or 20. But, I've gone off that idea. The lifestyle is kind of lonely and isolated. I don't think that would suit me.
I read my sister's diary when I was 7. She was, I think, 13. It was awful to read it.
good
If I were to have a dream job, it would probably be a poet. Then again, I don't think I'm a very good poet!
cheque corny happiness mature naive pay
I'm happy to sacrifice a big pay cheque for my happiness, if that's not too corny a thing to say. It's probably more naive than mature to say that, maybe, but that's how I feel.
want interviews actors
Interviews are good if you want to be an actor because they raise your profile.
people growing members
Celebrity is seen by a huge amount of people and certainly myself for a while as the pinnacle of society, of success. It is revered almost religiously, both the institution and its quickly growing member base.
