“The reason I moved to New York was to become an actor - like, I had no...” — Mike Faist Quote

The reason I moved to New York was to become an actor - like, I had no choice.

Having gone from having no money, wanting to just be a working actor - I don't want to just be a working actor anymore.

I'm not a movie star.

For 'West Side,' luckily we had an extensive amount of rehearsals. We had four months of rehearsals and a big part of that 'getting ready' process was just spending time with the Jets and building that relationship and that family.

It's this constant falling in and out of love with what you do. We're always trying to find a project or a role that we deeply connect with, and there's chunks of time where it's not really there and you start to wonder whether you really want to keep doing this. Actors are always disrespected in a way.

I had no choice but to work hard. I was a straight-A student, went to college, and I loved business. I never thought I was going to be a singer myself.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who don't like Robbie Williams but he is presented to the public in such a way that they have no choice.

Seeing the light is a choice, not seeing the light is no choice.

I have no choice but give my best, even if it is a small role. There are a lot of expectations from the family and industry.

I've gone skydiving twice. I was terrified about doing it, but I wanted to overcome that. The first time, I did it with my parents and I remember that they had already both jumped out, and suddenly it was my turn. And I thought, 'Well, I don't want to be an orphan,' so I guess I have no choice, and I jumped out of the plane.
