Self-doubt kills talent.

Acting isn't a singular profession, it is a collaborate profession.

Don't stink up the place with bad acting, if an opportunity comes your way.

John Hughes loved improvisers.

Regarding 'Ferris Bueller,' I was in the Czech Republic once, in Prague, making a movie at the same time as Jeffrey Jones, who played the principal, who was making a different movie.
