Why not? You should always go for your dreams!

You ask if ppl think u can be an actress and then say "no negativity". That means you don't want an honest answer. becoming an actress is EXTREMELY hard to do no matter how talented you are. I have been a stuntman for a few years so it's easier for me to get work. I have seen many MANY talented ppl get turned down. The reality is that it's a tough career choice and most ppl who try fail. I'm not saying you will but if you put yourself on such a high pedestal your bound to fall and get hurt. Definitely try but don't put all your hopes into it. OH, if anyone tells you it's easy they r lying. it's easy to say follow your dreams but it's hard to do so. I have lived in this world PROFESSIONALLY for many years. It's tough.

The question should be do you want to pursue a professional career in acting or do you want to have fun expressing yourself creatively?
My simple answer is to pursue the career professionally and if you ever have any doubts you can always fall into a non-professional theater like a community theater and do it for fun.
Acting is a very hard craft and 99% of those who work professionally (meaning 90% of their income comes from arts activities) are never famous.
It takes a long time to build up the craft and your physical body to take the abuse that the live theater or even grueling schedule of film can cause.
If you want to take a first step try audition for local theater troups or movies in your area.
