If you get to do a small part and people notice it…
and everybody seemed to enjoy it and notice it,
you can’t go wrong with that, you know what I mean?
If it’s short, showy, funny, and they like it or they
mention it, then you’re home free. If you do a small
part and they don’t notice you, then you’re in trouble…
So short, sweet, funny, noticeable, anytime. I don’t
mind playing the lead – it just means you have to
have lunch and dinner there.
