I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long you miss them.

Wise men make more opportunities than they find.

The Amateur Marriage grew out of the reflection that of all the opportunities to show differences in character surely an unhappy marriage must be the richest.

Life opens up opportunities to you and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people to travel and expand my financial capabilities to get ideas and learn about life to create a world apart from basketball.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week I'll do something. If not I won't do a damn thing.

In this business if you take too long the landscape changes. So the opportunities that were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues I will tell you that.

Bottom line: if you show a genuine interest in learning about how others became successful you can open up a world of opportunities.
