"Freddie Highmore has admitted that he is still unsure about pursuing his acting career. The Bates Motel star - who appeared alongside Johnny Depp in Finding Neverland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a young actor - said that it is a &amp;quot;big step&amp;quot; to commit to acting full time.  Speaking about his doubts, he told PA: &amp;quot;I probably still have it now, that thing of not wanting to commit to something for the rest of your life. Saying this is what I want to be forever is a big step, especially at 12 years old. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t want to be forced into thinking this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And still now, it would be great to carry on acting and to do more things, but I&amp;#039;ve kept my studies going and the tricky thing is I&amp;#039;ve always had something alongside acting.  &amp;quot;Acting has almost never been the focus of my life so it is a big shift to say that acting will be the main thing that you&amp;#039;re doing as opposed to something that fits in really well with your normal life back at home.&amp;quot; Highmore, 21, recently spoke to Digital Spy about the &amp;quot;pressure&amp;quot; he felt taking on the role of a young Norman Bates in Bates Motel, which tells the story of the Psycho character&amp;#039;s teenage years. The A&amp;amp;E drama will air its second season in the US next year. The show&amp;#039;s first season continues on Thursday (September 19) at 9pm on the Universal Channel in the UK.
