To me, Hollywood seems a little bipolar. Things happen; things don't happen. Someone's in a movie; someone's not in a movie. I've learned not to build my expectations.
I try not to get involved in the business of prediction. It's a quick way to look like an idiot.
You go through these little phases and fads, and it never turns out the way you think it's going to turn out.
I've learned the hard lesson that you can't pin your heart on anything until it's a completely done deal.
Anything can change in show business; you know how it goes, everything changes from one day to the other.
Things always change in football, and you can never predict anything.
The narrative of, 'You won an award, so you're going to skyrocket' - it's very emotive language but not necessarily true. I've definitely got auditions I wouldn't have got before, but it's not like jobs get rained down on you.
If a decision-making process is flawed and dysfunctional, decisions will go awry.
In this business, if you lose, you're gonna get fired. Now, if you win, you still may get fired. That's the hard part. You see guys having success and getting fired. That's really tough to watch.
