“I see myself as a student. I would never call myself a master or a maestro. If you take the path of the student, that means you have to try a little bit of everything in hopes that you're going to learn something or strike some kind of new note, expression in the process. I'm not going for grades; I'm going for an education. I'm going to continue experimenting and trying new things to try to evolve and learn.” IfsTryingKindMeanLittlesBitsProcessSoundPathStudentsExpressionMastersLittle BitNotesStrikesEvolveGradesNew ThingsTrying New ThingsMaestro Author:Nicolas Cage

“I don't write my standup on paper or anything; but I just organically do it on stage, have an idea, chat it up a little bit. I'm keeping notes.

“I played violin from when I was about eight to thirteen, so I could read a little bit, but if you put a piece of music in front of me now, I would probably know the notes, but not the timing, how they're supposed to be played, and I just don't know how to read chords. If I'd stuck with it, I'd probably have more jobs.” IfsKnowsLittlesJobsBitsKnow HowPiecesFrontsLittle BitNotesEightStuckSupposed To BeTimingChordsViolinThirteen Author:Petra Haden
“My first job was a show called The Others. I had, like, three lines. Julianne Nicholson was in it, and Gabriel [Macht]. I remember Gabriel wasn't there the day I was, but he sent a note, because he went to Carnegie Mellon as well, so we knew each other a little bit through that, and he was so sweet and generous. It was meant to be a recurring role that would evolve on the show, but the show only lasted a little while and I ended up only doing that one episode.” FirstsWellsLittlesShowsJobsRememberThreeBitsLinesRolesSweetLittle BitNotesEvolveGenerousMeant To BeEpisodesWere Meant To BeGabrielRecurringCarnegieNicholsonCarnegie Mellon Author:Zachary Quinto
