I've known numerous actors who got a pilot that they thought was going to run forever, and they went out and blew all of the money. Now they've got a mortgage they can't pay for.

You always have that danger when you do a pilot of getting this gigantic chunk of change, and all of a sudden you're like, 'It's going to run forever, and I'm buying a house in the Hollywood Hills.'

I just spent three years on 'The Office.' I made enough money that I can take five weeks out and do a play.

It doesn't behoove you as an actor to sit around and worry.

There's a lot of pressure being an actor and taking on challenges that people don't expect of you.

I am not a long-run actor. I admire actors who can do that.
