I was a movie freak before I was a book lover.
I loved music before I stumbled onto acting.
I wanted to be a car pinstriper, but there was nobody to teach me how to do it. So I said, 'Music's good too. I'll do that maybe, since I can't work out how to do this pinstriping.'
My parents gave me a small telescope, then I built my own, and one thing led to another. So that's how I ended up going from being a hobby astronomer to a professional astronomer.
It's a little difficult when something goes from being an utter obsession - a thing where your skill defines you as a person - to it just being a thing you occasionally do.
I did it for a living, made a career out of it, but now I've turned it into somewhat of a hobby.
While I was doing these plays in the beginning, I wasn't getting paid. I thought of it more as a hobby. Then I realized how seriously a lot of these people took what they were doing.
I stopped playing the drums when I was ten, and I picked up Rubik's Cubes. I was doing that for a while, and then I got into cinematography.
