I'm just going to try to stay employed. That's the tough part in this business.
As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.
Nowadays, there's no such thing as a stable job.
We have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us.
I have a freelancer's mentality: if I leave the country for more than 24 hours on a non-work trip, I believe I will never be employed again.
I never could get a proper job.
Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.
I wish my brother would learn a trade, so I would know what kind of work he's out of.
Actors create a fantastic lifestyle thinking they're going to be able to maintain it. Then they can't get work or have to start taking work that doesn't suit them.
As an actor, you're continually riding the waves of whether you're in or out, getting work or not getting work, and Kazan was really a guy who was condemned into not working and looking to go deep into someplace and just live inside his art.
If you don't have a job, you don't have a fear of losing it. You fear having to get one.
