Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.
Caution always, but when a man acts he should act suddenly and with decision.
Because I started my career in improv, performing with Second City and the Ace Trucking Company, I always enjoy being in situations where - as an actor - you have to think fast & be light on your feet.
A lot of opportunities in life tend to last a short while, due to some temporary inefficiency... For each of us, really good investment opportunities aren't going to come along too often and won't last too long, so you've got to be ready to act and have a prepared mind.
I'm impatient. I get twitchy. When I get that feeling I just go out and make something happen.
I've done a lot of television, and there's no rehearsal process - you have to come to the set with your guns blazing and with a point of view.
Opportunity is coy, is swift, is gone, before the slow, the unobservant, the indolent, or the careless can seize her.
I always say if you've seen good acting on television, those actors are really good. Because there's just not enough time. You don't have any preparation.
When you find yourself in those situations where you have to take action in a crucial situation, you just do it.
