*sigh* I envy those who have gone into drama/acting earlier... :redface2:
I'm somewhat interested in acting though it's never crossed my mind to ever be an actor seeing that I tend to have a shell I need to come out of. Drama in high school was out of the question for me because of that though thinking back now, it would've been a good opportunity to get over that at the time. :disappoin
(Though if I were to act, I would like to take on villains roles more. :sweat: I love actors like Christopher Walken, Christopher Lee, Dennis Hopper, Willem Dafoe, Vincent Price, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons, Jason Isaacs, Sean Bean, etc. as somehow I tend to find villain characters more interesting.)
That said, I find myself more interested in being behind the camera. I've always dreamed of being a director as a kid. I still do now... but my parents don't support it. No idea why... maybe because I'm an only child so all their attention is focused on me (and they got no other child to "shape" into the way they want)... or could it be that I'm Chinese so they expect me to be a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, or in my case: economist or some finance related stuff. I love money (who doesn't?) but such a field isn't what I want to do every day.
I hate my life as it is, to be honest (aside from getting everything I want and having the money to collect without much limits). I'm hardly doing anything that I enjoy. My education is for something my parents wanted me to do. At the moment, I'm done university now -- graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. I've been thinking of going into a film school to pursue my dream rather than what my parents want (which is to find work that is in the field I studied for and then live a life of tedious normality).
My mom says she'll accept my passion but she insists I must have some economics/finance in it. The "closest" thing (if it is even "close" at all) she'd allow is marketing. That's not what I want though... I want to make films. :redface2:
