Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.
I didn't watch TV or movies as a kid.
I'm a tomboy from Nova Scotia.
I was a big tomboy.
I was very much a tomboy. I just couldn't do the pink ballet tutus.
Growing up, I was sort of a tomboy. I was the one skating with the boys.
I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.
I never liked dolls or played house. I read and wrote, climbed trees, collected rocks, rode my bike, and befriended boys, platonically.
I would not be very comfortable doing the regular thing which we see on TV.
I'm not wholesome at all. I detest homey things like cooking and bed-making and Peter Pan collars. I like to wear slacks and play golf.
I didn't grow up watching TV or going to McDonald's or listening to mainstream music. Like, the casting agents are looking elsewhere for the cheerleader role.
