It's definitely a privilege to be able to do what you love to do; it's not something that everyone gets to do, so I feel really good about that.
When you can't do what you love all of a sudden because of an uncontrollable situation, it sucks.
For me, success isn't even about money. It's about getting to do what you love and supporting yourself. Everything that comes after that is bonus, unless your only goal is to be rich. If that's your goal, you're going to find out that once you have a little bit, you want a lot. Then once you have a lot, you want a lot more.
I tell people: 'Do what you love, but it can also be hard to know what you love early on. But when you think about it and you describe the options, which one gets you a little more excited?'
You can die at any moment doing anything. I mean, so why not do what you love to do. If I die on game day, have a drink. Celebrate.
If you do what you love, it is the best way to relax.
I'm probably wouldn't do anything differently if I had to do it again. Every little thing that happens to you, good and bad, becomes a little piece of the puzzle of who you become. Every successful person you read about - Warren Buffett, Bill Gates - they all say pretty much the same thing. 'Do what you love.' I know I did.
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
You just hope that you will get the opportunity to do what you love and pay your bills, and that is being a success as an actor.
Believe in yourself, listen to your gut, and do what you love.
