Love & Passion Quote by Scott Foley

The charm here is how nakedly unpretentious it is. Scott Foley doesn’t try to launder success into a grand narrative about craft or destiny; he treats the whole thing like he’s still a little shocked he got away with it. That incredulity is the engine of the quote. “They pay me” lands as the punchline and the thesis: acting, so often wrapped in prestige-speak, gets reframed as a job you can’t believe is real. It’s gratitude without sanctimony, excitement without self-mythologizing.

The repetition of “good” and “amazing” isn’t poetic, but it’s culturally legible: early-2000s celebrity talk that performs relatability as much as sincerity. Foley’s intent is to broadcast that he’s not above the grind (“long hours”) while still selling the fantasy. The subtext is a careful balance: he’s a working actor, not a tortured artiste, and he’s thrilled to be inside the machine rather than critiquing it from the outside.

Then there’s the cheeky closer: “I get to kiss Keri Russell.” It’s a wink that acknowledges what the audience is thinking - the perks are part of the appeal - while staying just self-deprecating enough (“that ain’t too bad”) to avoid sounding predatory or arrogant. In a media ecosystem that rewards stars for seeming normal while living an abnormal life, Foley nails the tone: gratitude, hustle, and a small, human brag smuggled in as a joke.
