As an actor, you're supposed to take jobs that will challenge you or force fans to see you in a different light. By the '90s, I wasn't really an actor anymore. I was someone who went on the road with these gigantic concerts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
I think the hardest thing about being an actor is between jobs when you don't know and wondering if you'll ever work again. It's kind of a crazy business.
The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.
As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.
To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.
My whole history of being an actor is unusual and slightly disgraceful because it should be something you burn to do.
People don't realise what a nice thing it is for an actor to go to a job where they know or like everybody, because you're so often having to do new beginnings, starting off on set with people you don't know, having to introduce yourself and make friends.
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
