Favorite Quotes From Seth Rogen
I have never had a job. As a young stand-up performer, I would make 50 or 100 dollars a week. Sometimes, I would get paid to headline a room, or MC-ing, or something similar. It’s not like I have a regular job.
Because it sounds strange, almost weird to me, I don’t feel comfortable saying that I am an actor. Every take makes me laugh, just because I am uncomfortable being on film. It’s awkward for me to do this. It’s fine once we get started, and while we’re still shooting, it’s never a problem. I would say that spending all of my time in front of the camera is equally painful.
