“I took part in a theatre festival in Massachusetts two summers after I graduated from college. Then I was in Los Angeles thinking: "I'm going to go to New York."

I bought a plane ticket and found a place to live in New York, packed my bags and of course the universe "told me" that I was not meant to go. Suddenly, a week before I was supposed to leave, I had three job offers and one of them was my first movie.” ThinkingFirstsTwoJobsFilmMovingUniverseThreeCoursesFoundChanceCareersWeekNew YorkCollegeOffersSummerDecidedTheatrePlanesBagsLos AngelesTicketsFestivalsPlaces To LiveMassachusetts Author:Chris Pine
