More From Norm MacDonald

The untalented are more at ease in a society that gives them valid alibis for not achieving than in one where opportunities are abundant. in an affluent society, the alienated who clamor for power are largely untalented people who cannot make use of the unprecedented opportunities for self-realization, and cannot escape the confrontation with an ineffectual self.
Opportunity Self People
Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. as you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you've got less to sell.
Personality Actors Faces
That all who are happy are equally happy is not true. a peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. a small drinking glass and a large one may be equally full, but the large one holds more than the small.

I've been fortunate to have had the life i had prior to hollywood. i wasn't starving, i was going to eat the next day. i came to hollywood wanting a career that had longevity, and i wasn't afraid to take risks because i had a dollar in the bank. i wasn't driven by money as much as i was driven by making a successful transition. and i was smart enough to know that i certainly didn't have all the answers and i needed to surround myself with smart people and be willing to take risks and be willing to fail.
Smart Successful People
Mainstream hollywood makes a few good movies a year. and in order to be in one of those, you have to be one of five people. hollywood makes many bad movies too, which i'm not interested in being a part of. but there are only a few good independent movies a year, and many, many bad ones. i want to be in good movies, and i want people to see them.
Independent Order Years
I've worked with some very good directors and some very bad ones. i learned a great deal from both. from the bad, untalented people, you learn what not to do. and when you work with very highly talented people, you want to emulate them.

Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and theyll look at me like theyre trying to think where they know me from.

I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. i'm on the road where i am supposed to be. i will be where i'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.
