When I started acting in earnest at 12 years old, I really embraced it because, in a safe and contained and controlled environment, it allowed me to emote. And it allowed me to kind of experience those feelings that were otherwise inappropriate to display, you know, in school or with friends. You know, its really impolite to cry at a basketball game. But its OK to cry in Oliver, because, you know, his parents are gone and, you know, hes eating out of the street. So, in a way, it was really comforting.
