Poker is meant to be enjoyed.

Poker is just a hobby I'm passionate about. It's not supposed to bring glory.

I could think of worse ways of going than at the poker table.

Poker is a charismatic game. People who are larger than life play poker and make their living from playing games and hustling.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.

The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

I think one of the interesting things about poker is that once you let your ego in, you're done for.

As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think 'actor' and see some easy money.

Being able to pit your wits against literally hundreds of other people is really exciting and ultimately the biggest single challenge for a poker player.

Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.
