I always say to myself, 'I never had a career, only work.' What I mean by that is sometimes - and I won't mention names - but when you get into this career-minded perception of one's self it can be a slippery slope, and it can lead to things where you start believing in your own mythos and you start taking yourself way too seriously. You become pretentious and then you fall into the realm of diva, and that's when mistakes happen in your personal life and on camera. (Nicolas Cage)
