"But find something that you absolutely love doing. And then get to love the way you do it. That's the uniqueness of all of us. That's it"
About this Quote
Coming from an actor best known for a broad, comic persona, the message lands with a kind of backstage clarity. Performance is the perfect example of a field where many people love the idea of the job, but fewer can love the repetition, the audition grind, the nightly recalibration, the constant risk of looking foolish. “The way you do it” is where identity shows up: timing, tone, restraint, excess, instinct. It’s also where survival lives, because you can’t control applause or opportunity, only process.
The subtext is egalitarian and slightly defiant. Uniqueness isn’t framed as genius bestowed from above; it’s a personal signature built through attention and acceptance. Lewis’s blunt ending - “That’s it” - reads like an antidote to overcomplication. No myth of destiny, no grand manifesto. Just the radical suggestion that the point is not to become someone else’s version of successful, but to become intimate with your own methods until they feel like home.
