I Had Parents Who Were Working Actors, Who Did Really Well In Their Careers, But It Was A Living. So It Was A Reality For Me Growing Up; It Wasn't A Fantasy. It Wasn't Sitting There Going, "i Want To Be Adored." It Wasn't That At All. Not To Say That The Screams Of Fans Aren't A Smile-raiser, But That Was Never The Pull For Me.
