I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I've never been interested in being famous. I enjoy acting. That's what's important to me.

If I got too famous, I'd just quit acting, but I think it's highly unlikely I'm going to get really famous.

When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.

I don't think about being famous, really. Being an author, I don't generally get stopped as I walk down the street. It's not like being a movie star.

Acting is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.

Why would anyone want to be famous, certainly not me. My only goal in an acting career is to be able to work full time as an actor, filmmaker. When I get to that level, which I will, in this business where I can spend one hundred percent of my time honing my craft, then I will be complete.

I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.
