RESERVOIR DOGS star TIM ROTH regrets not making more of his creative skills because he could have been a better artist than actor.

The British star was a painter and a sculptor in his teens, before his acting career took off, and he often wonders what would have become of him if he had stuck to art.

He says, "I would like to see what would happen if I just pursued that and didn't quit that to pursue acting.

"I think it's an interesting subject. I have regrets I think. I don't have regrets as to where I turned up, but I do wonder what it would be like to have pursued art instead of acting."
