About this Quote

This quote by Jeffrey Combs speaks with the power of instinct, naivete, and opportunity in the pursuit of a career. Combs recommends that he was drawn to acting out of a combination of these three components. Impulse is a natural inclination or feeling that guides us in our decisions. Naivete is an absence of experience or understanding that can lead to a sense of innocence and interest. Opportunity is the opportunity to do something, typically at the right time and place. Together, these three elements can be effective incentives in the pursuit of a career. Combs suggests that it was this mix of impulse, naivete, and opportunity that led him to acting. This quote speaks with the significance of trusting our impulses, being open to new experiences, and taking advantage of chances when they occur.
