Sam: (advice to people who want to get into acting business) Get into it with everything you have. Learn as much about every aspect as you can.
Sam: (when he knew he wanted to become an actor) It was during my senior year at Princeton. I came home and told my mom and dad I was moving to Hollywood to become an actor. I don't think the mystique of the "struggling actor" was the allure for me. When I arrived in California, I knew I had a lot to learn as an actor, as opposed to someone who had already made acting an art for him or herself. You see pretty quickly there are some guys that have it and some that do not.
Sam: (about his first impression of Hollywood) One thing I found out after being in Hollywood for four years is that success doesn't just "happen" to anybody. It's good copy in magazines to say this guy was picked up off the street or he drove his friend to an audition and he ended up getting the part. But that doesn't happen.
