I never planned to become an actor.
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
I can't say that I wanted to be an actress, it just happened along the way. I did not even know that I would be doing modelling but that also just happened.
I look back - I think I am an accidental actor.
People kind of stumble their way through life a lot of times.
So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy.
I'm never going to rule anything out in life, because most of what I'm doing now, I never intended to do.
I fell into lyric writing because of music. I backed into it.
I didn't dream that I would become the CEO of the company when I joined as a systems marketing engineer back in 1995. Sometimes, I don't really reconcile to it; it's a bit of an odd sensation which is under the surface.
I was not in the race to become a chief minister. I had never thought about it.
I never thought I'd end up coaching. It wasn't the plan.
When I got 'Family Ties', I wasn't even thinking about being an actress. I thought I might become a window dresser.
My journey to working on loneliness was certainly not an expected one or planned one.
I didn't climb into that tree expecting to become a spokesperson.
My career has been a level of serendipity all along. I've never planned anything out more than a few years. All the places we lived - the 12, 13 countries - and the companies I worked for were a combination of circumstances.
My so-called career is a haphazard thing.
I've never looked ahead very much in my life. I've never had any grand plan from the outset. I had no burning ambition to do what I do.
I was just 19 years old when I did my first film and had no plan to act, or to become an actor. It was like a paid holiday so that I could earn good pocket money and then party more with my friends.
I never planned on being a plumber.
I sort of fell into acting.
I'd never planned on being a model.
College wasn't something I saw myself doing.
I honestly was supposed to always be a wrestler. I was never hired into any business as an announcer. That was just something I ended up falling into.
I moved to Manchester to join a band and ended up getting into acting, and I moved back to London to become an actor and ended up joining a band.
I hadn't planned on being an activist.
