I would do anything to keep looking the job. I think you make an extra effort if you're on show.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job.
I would take up any small job on the sets, just so that I could hang around with the hope of getting noticed.
Show business is - you're there by somebody's fluke. And as long as somebody likes you, and the show is going well, you're fine. I'd do anything. There's so much I want to do.
Acting can be so much fun that it's easy to forget that what you're doing is a job. But if I've got my tie on, I'm going to work.
This is not a showman's job. I will not step out of character.
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
As long as the cheques carry on coming in, and I'm enjoying my work, I shall continue acting.
The people at home don't care what your problems are. They just know that you're doing that show and you're supposed to do the best you can do. It's not a 9-5 type of job. I've considered myself very lucky to do that kind of work.
My job is to provide the atmosphere and assistance to the contestants to get them to perform at their very best. And if I'm successful doing that, I will be perceived as a nice guy, and the audience will think of me as being a bit of a star.
No matter what the role, you're trying to do the impossible - make a living in show business.
