David Cross: Acting is all pretending, that's all it is. It's the easiest job in the world. Here's what you do, here's acting. Actors sit - they get fucking millions of dollars - they sit in their beautiful plush trailers, with beds and fucking big screen TVs playing video games, waiting to be called to set and they're hanging out on their cell phone. And then a PA who's getting like six dollars an hour comes up and says, 'Uh, we're ready for you Mr. Belushi.'  'Fuck you!'  And then they come down and they uh, hold an umbrella lest a raindrop touch your precious little head and they give you hover-craft boots so that you can not touch the ground and angels sprinkle gold on you. 'What would you like? What about a certain kind of tea that you can only get in Tibet and I'll fly over there right now and get it for you?' And then they get on the set and the director says, 'Okay, second team out first team in.' Second team does all the hard work, they're the people that look like you and dress like you and they sit there for like an hour while they light and everything. Then the first team goes in and it's all pretending that's all you do and they go, 'Okay and action!' [acting sad] "I'm so ashamed." [/acting sad] 'And cut!' 'Okay, I'll be in my trailer.'
