Before acting, I had writing and reading. Coming to a foreign country as a child one becomes very aware early on about the significance of language and communication. Books were my saviours, growing up. I wrote poetry, short stories, plays. This was therapeutic for me as for a long time I was too cognizant of my accent etc. to speak my mind. So I wrote. This naturally transitioned to wanting to share stories, and doing it on a stage or on the screen seemed like a visceral form of storytelling. Writing was my first love, way before theatre and films came into play. (it) |
