Quote by Bob Odenkirk

“Acting in particular is a fun job when you have a good script. I don't know about acting when you don't have a great script. I'm gonna say that's not a great job, it's kind of a dumb job. But when you have a good part in a good script, it's the best job, in a way.”

So that's another reason to know what you're making, why you're making it, and make it the way you want.”
