Acting in particular is a fun job when you have a good script. I don't know about acting when you don't have a great script. I'm gonna say that's not a great job, it's kind of a dumb job. But when you have a good part in a good script, it's the best job, in a way.
 Bob Odenkirk

Quotes from the same author

You get to use everything you learned in movie business. You talk to actors, if you do it right - and I haven't always done it right - you should be shaping the material all the time. And the other thing is, you get all the blame when you direct and it doesn't work. You get slammed. So that's another reason to know what you're making, why you're making it, and make it the way you want.

My daughter got me a 'World's Best Dad' mug. So we know she's sarcastic.
 Bob Odenkirk
I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.
 Bob Odenkirk
Directing is probably the best job, but acting is really, really great. It's like a fun vacation that you get paid for.
 Bob Odenkirk
In acting, you're only responsible for your part. When you're directing, the load is on your shoulders, so you have to feel a strong connection to the material. It's a higher bar to get over.
