I was probably 11 by the time I saw a movie.

Meaning of the quote

This quote means that Peter Gallagher, the American actor, didn't see a movie until he was around 11 years old. At that age, most kids today have already watched many movies, but it was different for Gallagher when he was growing up. Back then, not everyone had easy access to movies like we do now. Gallagher probably had to wait until he was a bit older before he could finally see his first movie.
