There are a lot of actors that are more talented than me at Second City who quit it before they even got to a paying status. Weird luck. I had no other option.

I think all phases of one's career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not.

I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar.

Why would you get up there and bore people? I never have figured that out. These people are supposedly in the entertainment industry, and they finally get up there to that podium and they become the most boring people in the world.

It's much harder to play beloved than to play a rotten guy. Rotten guy is a piece of cake. So playing a beloved person really sets a high bar for your behavior and your acting and what you project.

To people who want to be rich and famous, I'd say, "Get rich first and see if that doesn't cover it."

You don't have to have all this film stock, you can work faster, and you don't need a giant crew. It's great.
