Maybe I'm naive, but I subscribe to the idea that nobody is actually making strategic decisions about their career. Trying to do that would be like playing three-card monte on Canal Street.

If it doesn't feel like a job and I'm learning something and getting that rush that I get, I don't care if it's behind a camera, on a TV set, or on the moon.

I can always go back to construction. That's great money, but the problem is you can cut off your hand.

Don't trust somebody that don't have a troubled period.

Even the greatest actors have had dry spells where they've wondered if they were going to work again.

You learn history in school, and you have a reverential feeling toward it. But by being irreverent, it feels current.

You never know when you'll have a bad idea for a worse joke.
