To me, success is choice and opportunity.
Harrison Ford

All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms.

I shaved my hairline back and dyed my hair and wore a little powder, a little paint, a fat suit, and I changed my voice, but the emotions were consistent with what the point of the scene [with Branch Rickey] was.

Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.

The only thing hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.
