When I was growing up as a little girl and as a teenager, I loved designing and making dogs' clothes and wanting to be a fashion designer. I took art and ceramics. I loved dance.
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
I'd done acting at a local drama school on Saturdays. I just enjoyed it. It never entered my mind I could possibly do it for a career.
When I was a kid, I was always drawing things. I'd get butcher paper or grocery bags and draw on them.
Aside from singing, I'm also a dancer. I've been dancing since I was 8.
I started with golf because I saw my brothers play, I was always watching them. It was my life. Growing up, we always played competitions like chipping, hitting.
Elvis came along when I was 10. My father gave me a bass ukulele. I taught myself how to play from a book to play some chords, so I was laying down 'Hound Dog' and things like that when I was 10 years old in 1955. That's the way I was. My ear was glued to the radio. I knew right then what I wanted to do.
I always wrote poems when I was a little girl, and I loved hip hop music, and I kind of just started writing poems over beats, and that's when I started rapping.
When I was five, six, I drew myself as a cat a lot, because I was obsessed with cats. And then, as soon as I took my first riding lesson, I started drawing horses.
I never really read comics. I bought them, and I would draw them.
I was born in 1935, and as far back as I can remember, I was sketching designs. My first subject was an aircraft, which I imagined myself piloting.
I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.
Dance has always been my number one. I started when I was seven years old and I've had the opportunity to work with some really amazing artists.
I planted an orchard when I was 13. The impulse came from wanting to grow my own apples. That and the nursery catalog showed an apple tree with a beautiful girl standing under the fruit. Whether the flavor or the picture that did it, I've been hooked since.
I started playing piano around the age of five and, you know, I fell in love with music.
When I was 8 years old, I was already very interested in music.
I used to play the drums when I was, like, 5 through 10.
As a child working in films was like a hobby but now it has turned into a profession. And with that, it's become a life that's full of pressure and nervousness about Box Office results, competition.
Okay, so, when I was a kid, definitely the drawings and the illustration. Then I stopped in sixth grade or so. And then I started again when I was in my twenties. I really didn't progress since then, so the way I draw is the way I drew in sixth grade.
I read two mysteries a day when I was a kid. All of Agatha Christie, all of 'Sherlock Holmes.' I've seen every single British detective show ever made.
I've been painting and making things since I was little.
I've been playing this game since I was 5 years old, so I look forward to playing.
I started playing guitar by the time I was 9.
I've been playing hockey since I was five years old. It's a part of my life.
I started writing when I was around 6. I say 'writing,' but it was really just making up stuff! I started writing and doing my own thing. I didn't really know what a demo was or anything like that, so I started getting interested in studio gear and started learning about one instrument at a time. My first instrument was an accordion.
