I had no idea I could make it this far. And the fact that they told me I made it this far and that America is going to vote for me, I freaked out.
I suddenly realized that the fellow who didn't show up was getting about fifty-times more money than I was getting. So I thought, 'this is silly,' and became an actor. I certainly never thought I'd wind up in motion pictures. That was far beyond anything I'd ever dreamed of.
