I just spent three years on 'The Office.' I made enough money that I can take five weeks out and do a play.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I spent four months once doing a play on Broadway.
I went into this job to do plays, but that's here for 10 weeks, and the rest of the year I do a lot of other things-the administrative work of planning, reading plays.
When you get to play pretend for a living and do it with really talented people, it's really fun to go to the office!
If I heard somebody else say, 'I worked on a movie for five years', I'd be like, 'What? How could it take that long? What were you doing?'
I have four to five months, tops, per year to give to my acting work.
I loved playing and I was actually working two jobs.
I never was one to go into an office and write. For one thing, I had a job. I was cleaning the ashtrays and setting up the studios at Columbia for a couple of years and working every other week down in the Gulf of Mexico flying helicopters. I didn't really get to just write songs for about five years.
I can do a book in three months if I spend all day, seven days a week at it and, in fact, I work better that way.
You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.
I worked in accounting for two and a half years, realized that wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and decided I was just going to give comedy a try.
