A Quote by Colin Hanks

I eventually thought, this is the only thing I could do as a profession, I can't really do anything else. — © Colin Hanks
I eventually thought, this is the only thing I could do as a profession, I can't really do anything else.
Eventually, I realized that there was only so much that I could put in the way of my happiness, and acting made me happier than anything else.
They wanted me to do movies and television when I was very young, and it was a big temptation, but I really thought the only way I could learn the profession was on the stage.
I thought I could see how standup worked. I never thought of being an actor - or anything else, really - but I thought, 'I can see how you get on stage and tell jokes.'
Artists were always referred to as great artists. I thought that's what the profession was. One word: great-artist. There wasn't one moment in my life when I thought I wanted to be anything else.
Acting is the only thing I ever really wanted to do, and I'm really ill-prepared to do anything else.
I have only been acting since I was about eighteen. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I don't think there is anything else I could do.
I've had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that "Dollhouse" really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.
I read Eve Ensler and thought it was fabulous. Not only that, but it was really the only thing I could relate to about cancer.
I only did the comedy thing because I just thought I could do it better than anyone else at the time. And I was right.
I said the only way I would join Pets.com was if I could get Amazon to invest, and I did. I knew that anything that could be sourced externally, Amazon could do better and cheaper than anyone else except Walmart. It was really obvious to me.
The only thing that seemed to me I could do in such a way that no one else could was acting. I thought, I can be a doctor, but there's going to be someone else who is just as good or better. I can be a lawyer, which I still sometimes think I would love to be, but I think there's someone who can do it just as good or better.
I auditioned for 'The Voice' because I really wanted to try and figure out a way to get myself out there. I really couldn't imagine doing anything else - music was the only thing that I really clung to.
I'm so grateful for the fact that I've found a profession that I truly enjoy and this pushes me to do better. I really can't imagine myself doing anything else.
I thought comedy would be the hardest thing I could do, and if I could do that, I could do anything.
My eyes opened, and the first thing I thought of when I could put thoughts together was I want to be in show business. Never wanted anything else. I used to sneak in the costume room at my nursery school and smell the costumes.
I think the only thing in life that you really have to worry about is how you treat other people. If you mess up and treat someone else badly, you apologize, and you don't apologize for anything else. Be yourself and go for it.
