After a series of failures, to be part of a project like 'Baahubali: The Beginning' is dream-like, and it's easily the most unexpected thing of my career.
I never expect I would become a K-pop star.
I never thought, growing up, I'd be a TV host.
I had never dreamt of acting.
I just got in music because it was a hobby. I got into clubs for free, got to drink for free and left with the hottest girl from the night. I never dreamed it would be for me to go on this kind of ride at all.
Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.
My stint with 'Ally McBeal' is something I never planned nor expected.
I still can't believe I'm a professional wrestler in the first place. That hasn't sunk in yet. I'm sure I'll look back when I'm 50 or 60, if I make it that far, and think about everything that's happened.
I never expected to become a director. It never occurred to me to come to America, to Hollywood. It's all been a wonderful accident. I'm still amazed every time I finish a film.
I never thought I would become a television host, but I never thought anybody would pay me to just talk.
I'd never planned on being a model.
I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.
I'm always surprised that I get called to work. I always feel the way I felt when I was 24 or 25 trying to get a job. I'm amazed I have my SAG card and my Equity card.
I never imagined that I'd end up in animation, but marine biology and art collided, and here we are!
My parents wanted to light my artistic candle. But over time, the definition of 'the arts' began to stretch. And as I got older, they suddenly realized, Oh, my God, we're the parents of Iggy Pop.
When I first found out what a show runner was, I thought it was the strangest job I had heard of in my life.
Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business, I would have said, 'No way.'
I never pictured myself as a professional musician.
It was a very odd transition I guess because I didn't really intend for it to happen; it wasn't a goal of mine to end up in Hollywood and do anything other than sportscasting.
I think the way my modeling career took off, I did not expect. It was definitely not a ripple in my mind. I just never thought it was going to happen like this. I'm just here and I'm having fun and I'm trying to smile and not think about it too much. That's the hardest thing in life. I think about things way too much. Ignorance is totally bliss.
We didn't know it was going to be a career - it was just a lot of fun. We were known as the bimbo band and never expected to last.
I honestly never thought in my career I was going to do a body-switching movie.
I didn't realize what fun it was [ been a reporter].
This is totally unexpected. I thought I'd be in the NBA or the NFL. I never thought baseball. It's kind of like a surprise. I'm happy it happened.
I never thought I would end up being an actress. I thought I really was going to do serious stuff like law or politics.
