Had to think of the scene in The Disaster Artist too

- Can I ask you something? Why do you do it? You've got a husband, grand-kids. You live fifty miles out of town. And you're waking up at 5, driving all this way, for what?

- We're actors, Greg. For you, me, people like us, even the worst day on a movie set is better than the best day doing anything else.

Her answer really sums up my thoughts about acting. I have to say even if someone asked me to be in a horrible ultra low-budget C-Movie, which would look terrible already on paper, I would do it. I would try to take a Nicolas Cage approach to it and would just try to enjoy myself as much as possible. I just love movies too much to be able to pass up an opportunity like this. What's the worst that could happen? It may turn out that I have zero talent and no-one would ever cast me in anything else. So what? It wouldn't be the end of the world.

well the so what part is living as a testament to having no talent yet being on screen and having people point it out for the decades to come maybe. Would you be ok with that?
