I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.

It's very bizarre though when you get hired and then the director will say, I know how this goes. And you're thinking, Wait a minute, I thought that I was doing this but basically what they really want, especially if they wrote it, is they want you to do it as they imagined it. It's virtually impossible.
