ADD QUOTES
- Joe: (on being popular) When you're popular, you're always on the go. When you have spare time you want to use that spare time to continue on with your career. You tend to think that I am my job, I have become my job.

- Joe: (on acting) I would evetually like to do more film work, though. I'm hooked! Through acting I've discovered my second childhood.

- Joe: (on work substituding for a wife and kids I don't know if that's a healthy thing. A lot of people think I'm not a friendly guy. I'm pretty quiet, not an extrovert. I don't think about how great I am and all that...I like to go places by myself. I don't go out with an entourage. And I get so tired of me. This is a pretty self centred job. They're making you up. The executives are talking about you. The writers are writing for you. I get so tired of talking about me. I like to unplug the phones and 'zone out'.
