I wanted to be a veterinarian until I saw a video of a vet performing surgery on a dog. Then I decided I wanted to be a pianist.
I wanted to be an actress at a very early age and then decided to become an orthodontist after working in Dr. Richard Boyd's office in high school.
I always wanted to be a pilot, though somewhere down the line switched to computers.
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
I thought I was going to be a professor; then I ran screaming from there into magazine journalism.
I was originally going to become a biochemist, but it just got way too complicated.
When I was young, I'd fight everyone who insisted I'd be an actress. I'd say, 'No way. I'm going to be a veterinarian. I'm going to work at Wetzel's Pretzels.'
Soon, I knew that I would become a chemist, rather than a composer.
I initially wanted to be a teacher, and then I was going to become an engineer and build bridges and highways, but pretty soon I went into the business world. I never did get to be a teacher except in a different way.
This rock thing got in the way of my teaching career.
I wanted to be a vet before I got into comedy, but then once I found out how much gore goes into that job, I wanted nothing to do with it.
I wanted to do journalism, as I was an idealist. Then, in my second year of journalism, I realized that in real life, things don't work the way you expect them to. I realized that I could express my ideas better through films.
