More From Norm MacDonald

The untalented are more at ease in a society that gives them valid alibis for not achieving than in one where opportunities are abundant. in an affluent society, the alienated who clamor for power are largely untalented people who cannot make use of the unprecedented opportunities for self-realization, and cannot escape the confrontation with an ineffectual self.

Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. as you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you've got less to sell.

I've been fortunate to have had the life i had prior to hollywood. i wasn't starving, i was going to eat the next day. i came to hollywood wanting a career that had longevity, and i wasn't afraid to take risks because i had a dollar in the bank. i wasn't driven by money as much as i was driven by making a successful transition. and i was smart enough to know that i certainly didn't have all the answers and i needed to surround myself with smart people and be willing to take risks and be willing to fail.

Mainstream hollywood makes a few good movies a year. and in order to be in one of those, you have to be one of five people. hollywood makes many bad movies too, which i'm not interested in being a part of. but there are only a few good independent movies a year, and many, many bad ones. i want to be in good movies, and i want people to see them.
Independent Order Years
I've worked with some very good directors and some very bad ones. i learned a great deal from both. from the bad, untalented people, you learn what not to do. and when you work with very highly talented people, you want to emulate them.

Every time a new record started, people exhaled with pleasure, or their bodies moved automatically. i really started getting high off of the euphoric exclamations. every record i put on was like a baptism.
