If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.

Michael Caine
I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
