The success that Americans are said to worship is success of a specific sort: accomplished not through hard work, primarily, but through the ingenious angle, the big break. Sit down at a lunch counter, stand back up a star. Invest in a new issue and watch it soar. Split a single atom, win a war.
It might sound cliched, but choosing the right script is crucial. I think 'Badmaash Company' was a very big break for me because it gave me a lot of appreciation from the masses. It made me more confident as an actor.
Every actor dreams of getting a big break, a big opportunity.
My first big break came with Lauryn Hill on a track called Everything is Everything, I played piano on that track way back in 1998.
My big break was back in the third grade playing the third monkey in 'Horton Hears a Who.'
My big break was when I won 'Search for a Supermodel Australia,' and then I came second in the world series, and that was all good, but I was just having fun; it wasn't real to me.
When I was working at Teleflora, I got booked to do 'Talladega Nights,' so I went and did that. That was really my first big break ev-er. I made as much from my per diem during the three-month shoot as I did for the entire previous year.
My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.
I just wrapped this movie called 'The Wedding Crashers' which was a pretty big break for me.
I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman.
