''I'm fortunate I did the things I did. A lot of actors who are very talented still have to feed themselves and pay their bills. But all of that running around in my underwear put a little spending money in my pockets. So, I can just focus on working with good people in interesting movies without having to worry about supporting myself.'' — Boogie Nights' Mark Wahlberg on E! Online

''[Reporters keep] asking me 'What did you do to research playing a doctor?' The answer is, I watched as much ER as I could.'' — Playing God's David Duchovny on RoughCut Online

I saw a scene in [the upcoming TV series] Total Security last week where someone said, 'Boy, you look like your brother John there.' That was funny. I thought I looked like my dad.'' —Gang Related's James Belushi on AOL

''I decided I wanted to start acting in the fourth grade. As far as who discovered my talent, I don't think that I have any. That's just a joke. I think I'm extremely talented. That's also a joke. What am I? Am I talented or not?'' — Men Behaving Badly's Ken Marino on AOL
