The ego wants to rule, but the heart will quietly prevail." -Jennifer Ritchie Payette, co-author, "Modular Career Design
I am never honored. My career is hilarious to me. I am either under the radar or over the radar.
I don't deliberately go into comedy or go into indies, but I do deliberately try to keep changing tact, because I think that is the key to longevity in a career.
We've been following Judge Alito's career over the last 15 years, while he's been on the Court of Appeals.
I wanted to be a vet when I was little, so it never really dawned on me that acting was my career, it sort of chose me more than I chose it.
