The actor’s life isn’t for everyone, but it has been extremely rewarding to me.

I have a pretty amazing life. Even back-to-back deployments – Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey – it’s still pretty rewarding.

We have had a rewarding relationship, the belly and I.
Teaching is hard. It takes a lot of skill. Not everyone who tries can do it well. We need to admit that and act accordingly. We should reward and respect great teachers by paying them more, and we should stop rewarding seniority over effectiveness.
On a job, there’s so much commitment you have to give, in regards to time, research… I like the tunnel vision of it that prevents anything else from getting in. The creativity and collaboration required there is very rewarding.
