If I weren't acting, I think I'd want to be a professional hockey player.
If I wasn't a footballer, I would be a virgin
I would have done something else in life. Something more calming, in a different area where I did not have to use my emotions.
Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, 'Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.'
Certainly if I were to think in terms of a field that would have required a different mode of education, I think I would have leaned in the direction of being a therapist. And without the education, or a different kind of education, I think my first choice would be a landscape architect. I love to garden.
I grew up in the industry, so this whole entertainment thing is my world. If I had to leave it, maybe I'd be a race-car driver. That'd be awesome.
If my career doesn't work out as a violinist, I want to become an archaeologist. I've read about paleontology, too - that's dinosaur bones - but I thought it would be more interesting to do archaeology.
If acting doesn't work out, I'm probably going to be a professional chef.
I think I should have been an aesthetician, honestly.
I would probably be a teacher if I weren't a comedian.
If I hadn't made it as a footballer I would have been an electrician. I studied to be an electrician even though I was progressing at football because you never know at that stage if you are going to be there for sure.
I enjoy politics, but if I had a third career - and I've had multiple careers - my third act would be acting.
If I suddenly disappear from the music world, you might see Hikaru Utada working as a helper at some inn in Atami.
If it wasn't for golf, I don't know what I'd be doing. If my IQ had been two points lower, I'd have been a plant somewhere.
If I weren't a film maker, I'd probably be a handyman.
If Hollywood didn't work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.
Driving a tractor never appealed to me. But I never wanted to go into business. Had I not accidentally fallen into acting, I would probably have gone home from college and farmed.
If I hadn't become a professional basketball player, I would have become a history teacher. There's so much to learn from history.
My plan was never to be an actor like my father.
If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.
I kind of just lucked into and fell into the other profession. It was really just an outgrowth of the fact that when I was in art school, I had no money whatsoever.
If i wouldn't have done comedy, I would have been a teacher. I was really good when I took an exploratory teaching class in high school, at getting kids' attention, and delivering lesson plans. Though my principal even told me that this was what I was meant to do. And that being a big-mouth comedian was a waste of time.
If I wasn't an actor, I would probably be writing or doing something with psychology.
I never wanted to end up in entertainment; that wasn't the goal.
I grew up in the Midwest; you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.
