"I always wanted to act, but I never thought it would be my profession. I thought that I'd end up doing other things, but that in the meantime I'd do plays"

In this quote, Gael Garcia Bernal reveals his surprise at ending up being an expert actor. He had actually constantly had an interest in acting, but never ever envisioned it would become his profession. He had presumed he would pursue other paths, however in the meantime, he would continue to act in plays. This shows that Bernal wanted acting, but possibly did not have the confidence or belief that he could earn a living from it. Nevertheless, his love for the craft led him to continue pursuing it, even while he pursued other ventures. This quote highlights the unanticipated courses that life can take and the value of following one's enthusiasms.
