About this Quote

This quote by Liev Schreiber talks to the trouble of finding a career that is both financially viable as well as artistically satisfying. Schreiber expresses his initial idea that a career in theater was not a reasonable option, and so he had to try to find various other methods to make money while still being able to share his imaginative side. He eventually selected advertising and marketing, which he acknowledges with a tip of self-deprecation, as if he is aware of the paradox of his choice. This quote speaks to the hard decisions that many people need to make when it comes to their occupation paths, as well as just how often it can be difficult to find a work that is both economically protected and artistically satisfying.
