I honestly never considered myself an actor. An actor would be someone like Paul Muni or Spencer Tracy. I was more of a personality.
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
I'm not an actor, and I'll never call myself an actor. I've never thought of it as part of my life. I'll always be a singer, in my eyes.
Actors are always identified with certain parts. To some, Marlon Brando will always be the Godfather. That's just how it is, whether the character happens to be your own personal favorite role or not. You can't ever get away from it.
I've never had a musical career. So I think it's been unaffected. I play the accordion. In terms of thinking of it as a musical career, I think it's sort of like calling yourself an astronaut because you have a shiny suit.
I am not a comedian, I am an actor.
I'm not an activist, I'm an actor. I don't want to be an activist.
I never look at a high point in my career. Everyone thinks about the Spinks fight, but that fight only lasted 91 seconds, so it's hard to say it defined my career.
'Career' is not a musical term.
I'm not a comedienne. I'm an actress.
As the leader of the Bullet Club, I can't slow down now. I am an example for everybody who thought just slapping the Bullet Club logo on you would define your career.
In this industry, it's sad that a superficial thing like weight loss can actually define your career, but if that is the case, so be it.
The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.
I get kids who say, 'Oh, I love your movie, but my mum loves your dad.' It's really nice to be able to share that with him, but it doesn't define who I am career-wise.
I do some acting. And there's a difference between "I do some acting" and "I'm an actor."
Even more than 'Swingers,' 'Go', for me, defines my career.
I don't think I am an actor, because I haven't studied to be an actress.
I want to be 'Jimmy Chamberlin, the drummer, the musician who's done many things,' not just 'that guy from the Smashing Pumpkins.'
If you're not acting, you're not an actor.
I've always thought of myself as a journalist; that was what I did.
