Well, I've thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don't know what I'd do.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

Nick is a tobacco lobbyist who loves his job and doesn't apologize for it, which [as a role] is exciting and fun because it's politically incorrect and titillating — you get great jokes out of it,
