My goal was never to be famous, but to be a consistently working actor.

It's not my goal to be a famous actor.

I do hear about these actors who go on vacations to Bali for three months, and their agents are banging their heads against a wall trying to find their clients - but that's not me. I'm working hard every day. Enjoy your vacation.

It was never my goal to be an actor.

My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

I can read in any book and newspaper about the city of Detroit, but I want to hear what the people in Detroit have to say about Detroit. My best education is actually talking to people.
