Quite often I`m misunderstood when I say, `It`s not my life, it`s my job.` People think that means I don`t give a shit. Sure, I want to be the best actor in the world. But my life is my family, my son, my friends. I don`t know how anyone can find fault with that. For some reason when you say, `It`s my job` it sounds like `Who gives a shit?` Well, that`s not it at all. What I do quite honestly and seriously and not in any way being humble is not as important as what the garbage collector does. People make actors important. I go to the movies, I stand on line minding my own business and the manager goes, `Mr. Caan, Mr. Caan.` And I say, `No, no, no, I`m OK. I`ll stand on the line.` `Oh, you can`t.` So, finally they take you through the line and the other 40 people go, `Hey, Mr. Bigshot.` And I was just minding my own business, I just wanted to stand there. But other people make it very important that I`m an actor.
