When I was a kid, I didn't know how I got into acting.
I had no intention of being an actor, ever.
I never meant to be an actress.
It was never really my plan to become a filmmaker.
I became a welder. I was actually becoming an Engineer and I joined the wrong queue. And so I became a welder, without knowing what a welder was.
I kind of dwindled into acting.
I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.
Acting was my after-school activity. I never planned on growing up and becoming an actor.
Well, you know, I'm quite a reluctant writer. I'm not someone who set out to be a writer or really wanted to be.
I never went to sleep thinking and dreaming that I wanted to be an actor. It just kind of fell on my lap and I said, "Okay, maybe I can do this? Lets see.".
I think I became a writer because I didn't know of anything else to do. Maybe some incident from my childhood influenced me.
I kind of fell into acting.
I was in several school performances, mainly Shakespeare and comedic roles. I just accidentally became an actor. I totally didn't expect this.
I was an accidental banker. To please my parents, I went for an interview with Chase Manhattan Bank in 1983. They promised to send me into their offices in more than 40 countries and essentially audit the practices. It was an extraordinary job.
I wasn't one of those kids who was like, 'I want to be an actor.' It wasn't in my wheelhouse at all. I wasn't from a family that did this or in a place where people did this.
I never wanted to be an actor. It was just something that happened.
I was an accidental actor. I was never formally trained.
I became a children's author by accident.
Writing happened to me. I didn't decide to start writing or to be a writer. I never wanted to be a writer.
I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.
I never intended to become a writer.
I am neither an Occidental writer nor a Russian writer. I am an accidental writer.
I never planned to be an actor. It turned out I could make a living doing it.
I became a cartoonist because I'd sort of failed at everything else, really. I mean, it was by default.
Music was never really something I wanted to do, so I never thought about it as a kid.
