- It is a privilege to be on set as an actor. At that moment, either principal or background, you are helping to fulfill a vision, a product. Be grateful for such an opportunity.
- Being on set is not unlike the military. Always, always, always volunteer. Of course you're tired after a long day. We're all tired. Volunteer yourself and fulfill the director's vision.
- Whether it is background or principal, research your part off set. Make that performance the best for your director when on set.
- Through kind words or deeds; we make each other's day on set a bit better. For we better ourselves with these selfless acts. With a degree of certitude do not know when we will cross paths with each other again.
- I highly admire my director, Cameron Crowe, from the set of "We Bought A Zoo". In just 30 seconds upon meeting him for the first time, he upgraded me to principal. He took a chance! For two hours, I was immersed in pure improv as an insane US Air Force hurricane hunter pilot. Thank you, sir, for such a wonderful opportunity.
