If any student comes to me and says he wants to be useful to mankind and go into research to alleviate human suffering, I advise him to go into charity instead. Research wants real egotists who seek their own pleasure and satisfaction, but find it in solving the puzzles of nature. Albert Szent-Györgyi

Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists. Chris O'Dowd
A lot of actors are perfectionists, besides merely being egotists. Eric Mabius
