1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: up to Sizes? Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Robert de Niro. Just

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: be calm when things are going well. Don't thank you

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: on top of the world. Everyone is dispensable. I mean,

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro has always played the cool parts in

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: the movies. I mean, whether it's Katee fear, whether it's heat.

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: You know, Robert de Niro is always compared with al

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: Pacino is having that swag, being able to pull off

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: the gangster roles, and me watching Robert de Niro away

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: from it and how he stood up and speaks his mind,

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: makes me respect the man as an actor. If you

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: don't have any favorite actors, you know, you can't be

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: in a field and not respect other people in that field.

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's been well known. I'm a Brad

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Pitt fan. I love Paccino, de Niro. It's almost like

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: those are guaranteed people. So I totally respect de Niro's work.

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: What he's done. How he's been able to stay in

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: the game. Even as he's getting older, he's still hardcore.

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: He can do comedy. From me being an actor and

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: getting into the acting world, definitely, you have to respect

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro's hustle, and I respect him as a

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: man as well. They used to tell me the key

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: to being cool is when you win, you don't get

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: that happy, and when you lose, you don't get that sad.

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: When things are going good for you, relax in that moment,

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: Absorb that moment, but do not let it go to

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: your head. Don't start shitting on people, don't start acting extra,

31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: don't don't lose your personality. Now, I believe fame doesn't change,

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: it only amplifies them. I don't believe that you change.

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: I think some people want to become famous to be assholes.

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Some people want to be the boss so they can

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: shit on people. That's just their personality. I think if

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: you're cool, fame lets you be really cool. If you're

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: a good person, it gives you a great platform to

38
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: be a great person. If you're an asshole and a dickhead,

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: fame gives you a great platform to be that too.

40
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: So I believe fame and money does not change you.

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: It amplifies you. Now, once you're amplified, like de Niro says,

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: now you think you're on top, be calm, relax, appreciate

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: that moment, don't play yourself, and get out of pocket.

44
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: Because everyone is dispensable. And we've seen a lot of

45
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: people get to this particular point, whether it's money, fame,

46
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: or whatever and just lose it all because you go

47
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: into a god complex think you're special. You're not special.

48
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: You're lucky. You're blessed. You're blessed that people like you. You're

49
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: lucky that people like you. I'm acting people like me,

50
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: all right. There's people that can act circles around me.

51
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: There's people that have been to college and got degrees

52
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: in acting that could do Shakespeare all day, but people

53
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: may not like them. So you're fucking lucky. How the

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: fuck do you get an ego behind that? How do

55
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: you start thinking you're on top of the world because

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: you're fucking special. Everyone is dispensable. You know, here's the

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: four stages of acting a show business. You ready one,

58
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: who is iced tea? Two? Get me iced tea? Three?

59
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: Get me a young iced tea? For who the fuck

60
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: was ice Tea. That's it. You are dispensable, so we're

61
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: people that they use to entertain and we understand that.

62
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: But I don't care if you're in corporate world or whatever.

63
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Don't get on top and start thinking you can't be replaced.

64
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: That's the biggest mistake you'll ever make. This has been

65
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: another ice cold fact from me. Iced team. Listening again

66
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,

67
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing. When things are

68
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: going well, just be thankful and never take it for granted.

69
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,840
