Daily Inspiration Quote by Jason Biggs

"I'm just glad I got to work with the likes of Spielberg"

About this Quote

There is a quiet status negotiation hiding inside this gracious-sounding line. Jason Biggs frames the Spielberg collaboration as something he "got to" do, not something he earned, demanded, or naturally belonged in. That verb choice positions him as lucky and deferential, which is a smart posture in Hollywood, where credibility is as much about who vouches for you as what you can do. Saying "I'm just glad" is a pressure-release valve: it preempts any read of ego, ambition, or self-mythology.

The name drop does the heavier lift. "The likes of Spielberg" turns a specific person into a category: not just Steven Spielberg, but the upper tier of directors, the pantheon. Biggs is signaling proximity to cultural power while simultaneously insisting he understands the hierarchy. It's humility with an industry function. You broadcast pedigree without sounding like you're shopping it.

Context matters because Biggs is widely associated with raunchy, youth-oriented comedy. Invoking Spielberg is a way of complicating that brand in one sentence: I'm not only that guy; my career touched the prestige pipeline, too. It also nods to the way actors often narrate their trajectory through mentors and institutions rather than raw craft. The subtext is both gratitude and recalibration: let me be seen as someone serious people hire, even if my most famous work lives in the comedic gutter.
