I'm always revving the engine. In this industry, there are so many twists and turns. You never have it made.
I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.
Whenever a fellow coach is sacked it is not good for any of us - it hurts. You just have to accept it because it is part of the game.
As an actor, you're never supposed to complain about being too busy because it can go the other way real fast.
With acting, you have to depend on somebody else to decide if you are allowed to work. You can spend weeks and months when you are not acting at all.
Three years is a lifetime in Hollywood. If your career starts slipping in L.A., you can really feel it. All of a sudden, the people that you were beating for a part start beating you.
In Hollywood - in Hollywood, you're as good as your last picture.
You're only as good as your last movie, period. It's a business.
No single movie or event makes or breaks your career. Everything can be undone, including success.
A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next.
It would probably be very sensible to be in love with someone who was not in the arts and who wasn't so prone to ups and downs. When I think of people who aren't in the arts, I immediately think of politicians for some reason, and I would never want to be with a politician.
Being a singer, it's feast or famine. You have to hit it when it's hot.
The movie 'Scandal Makers' did so much better than I had thought. During that phase of my career, the people around me warned me that whatever goes up could always come back down.
Careers are defined by four minutes on the ice and lives can change forever, emotionally and financially.
That's how it always is in the entertainment industry, your feet are always treading Jello.
In politics, you're like a toilet seat: you're up one day and down the next.
One minute, it seemed I had more movie offers than I could handle; the next - no one wanted me.
I heard Bob Weinstein actually likened actors to baseball players. You work for a while then all of a sudden you go through a dry spell.
Hollywood can jack you up and then help you fall, but it can also raise you up.
When I started my career, I gave four flops, and then four hits, two flops, two hits, and then three flops.
I've been so blessed because I've had such longevity. I'm not a big red carpet girl. But I love the work. In this business, you can be at the top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel, and you're grape juice. I've been at both ends. It can make you become what you really are.
