I look back - I think I am an accidental actor.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Maybe Fate isn't the pond you swim in but the fisherman floating on top of it, letting you run the line wild until you are weary enough to be reeled back in.
I never in a million years thought that my life would unfold the way it has.
My becoming a film actor was more a twist of tale than a chosen course because I dared not to think I could ever become an actor. I couldn't even walk up on a stage and say 'Thank you' when we were to receive trophies at our sports meets at college.
The fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design.
I don't think anybody planned for me to be an actor. I didn't. I didn't know this was what I was going to do.
I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.
I don't remember sitting down and saying, 'This is why I want to be - an actress.' I just knew. It was never a conscious decision or a revelation.
When people ask me why I'm amazed at what Barack Obama has accomplished, I tell them it's not because of what most of America and the world sees and knows of his history. It's because I witnessed what I can only describe as a bizarre turn of events that thrust him into position to even become a U.S. senator.
Actually, I didn't plan to be an actor.
fate is strange.. almost no one i know married the first love of their lives. but for those who did are always telling me that they missed soemthing important, that they didn’t experience all that they might have.." - by the river piedra i sat down and wept
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
My film career was never planned.
A girl once came to my beery flat in Kensal Green, opened the blinds and cooked me breakfast. I married her.
I discovered that maybe it was fate all along, that faith was just an illusion that somehow you're in control.
It was an accident of circumstance that I never married.
Small streams don't plan to be mighty rivers. We just move in a direction; God decides what He'll have us become.
I am not very ambitious by nature, and movies happened to me by chance.
Actually, the books were never a planned career path.
Films just happened by chance. I had no interest in films or acting as a heroine, but that's a long story.
We've come through on a very strange path, and it's all somehow worked out.
I didn't ever intend to or want to be an actor. I'm not one of those people of whom they say, 'If you can't live without it, that's the only reason you should be an actor.' It was kind of a sideline that became my whole life.
I feel blessed. I never wanted to be an actor. It just happened all by chance and fate. I was studying to be a teacher.
