If you look at the careers of Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Paul Giamatti, Meryl Streep, none of them shot up in terms of fame or fortune or recognition, they laid a platform of good, solid work and became better and better.

I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot. But I don't want to kill people. I'd hate to.
