I take my personal upkeep real seriously; my sense of organization and attention to detail; my memory; my business - I love the business.
Acting is a precarious business. I have had periods where I felt like I couldn't get arrested, but you have to see it as a long game.
I think it would be a good thing in the creative community if there was less embarrassment of this word 'commercial' because that's how you make a business.
After three major movies, I was like, 'Oh, I guess you're supposed to get a publicist?' Girls that are in the business now that are successful are more savvy.
I'd like to see myself married with a child and hopefully still involved in the entertainment business as an actor who is also able to write a bit and direct some projects.
You have to keep the business side together as well as the creative side. We have constantly surprised people and stayed with bands until they have grown on people.
I have always been business minded, always been sorta an entrepreneurial guy; I played a character on 'Felicity' that was modeled after me, actually.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
I am starting to hate airports and the whole business of getting onto the plane. It all takes so long I want to scream.
I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.
I don't think an actor's job is to be recognized. I think an actor's job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that.
Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.
It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater.
In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.
Now with all this movie business, everybody's coming around wanting to know everything that's happened since I was four. It's like going to an analyst.
The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you're always asked to do what you've already done.
I consider myself to be more real-sized than most of the actresses in California and in show business. They're very small. They're like miniature people.
I make it my business to see or do something cultural in every place I go to. If you don't, you'll get into a state of constant despair.
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
My first introduction to television, and really just the business in general, was working with David Lynch, with his incredibly open, creative mind that was not following any rules.
There was never any pressure on me to go into the business, but I was always aware of it. I'd go on the set with my father and he and my mother would always be singing.
