Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef - but that's only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't ever believe that I was good enough to be come one.

  • -- Ian McKellen 伊恩·麦凯伦

在演戏之前,我想成为一名记者。我也有过当厨师的想法,但那只是当人们问我想做什么的时候。事实上,我总是说我想成为一名演员,但我从来都不相信我有能力成为一名演员。
