Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to Sizes? Team? You're listening to? The Daily Game
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Robert de Niro. Just
Speaker 1: be calm when things are going well. Don't thank you
Speaker 1: on top of the world. Everyone is dispensable. I mean,
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro has always played the cool parts in
Speaker 1: the movies. I mean, whether it's Katee fear, whether it's heat.
Speaker 1: You know, Robert de Niro is always compared with al
Speaker 1: Pacino is having that swag, being able to pull off
Speaker 1: the gangster roles, and me watching Robert de Niro away
Speaker 1: from it and how he stood up and speaks his mind,
Speaker 1: makes me respect the man as an actor. If you
Speaker 1: don't have any favorite actors, you know, you can't be
Speaker 1: in a field and not respect other people in that field.
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's been well known. I'm a Brad
Speaker 1: Pitt fan. I love Paccino, de Niro. It's almost like
Speaker 1: those are guaranteed people. So I totally respect de Niro's work.
Speaker 1: What he's done. How he's been able to stay in
Speaker 1: the game. Even as he's getting older, he's still hardcore.
Speaker 1: He can do comedy. From me being an actor and
Speaker 1: getting into the acting world, definitely, you have to respect
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro's hustle, and I respect him as a
Speaker 1: man as well. They used to tell me the key
Speaker 1: to being cool is when you win, you don't get
Speaker 1: that happy, and when you lose, you don't get that sad.
Speaker 1: When things are going good for you, relax in that moment,
Speaker 1: Absorb that moment, but do not let it go to
Speaker 1: your head. Don't start shitting on people, don't start acting extra,
Speaker 1: don't don't lose your personality. Now, I believe fame doesn't change,
Speaker 1: it only amplifies them. I don't believe that you change.
Speaker 1: I think some people want to become famous to be assholes.
Speaker 1: Some people want to be the boss so they can
Speaker 1: shit on people. That's just their personality. I think if
Speaker 1: you're cool, fame lets you be really cool. If you're
Speaker 1: a good person, it gives you a great platform to
Speaker 1: be a great person. If you're an asshole and a dickhead,
Speaker 1: fame gives you a great platform to be that too.
Speaker 1: So I believe fame and money does not change you.
Speaker 1: It amplifies you. Now, once you're amplified, like de Niro says,
Speaker 1: now you think you're on top, be calm, relax, appreciate
Speaker 1: that moment, don't play yourself, and get out of pocket.
Speaker 1: Because everyone is dispensable. And we've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: people get to this particular point, whether it's money, fame,
Speaker 1: or whatever and just lose it all because you go
Speaker 1: into a god complex think you're special. You're not special.
Speaker 1: You're lucky. You're blessed. You're blessed that people like you. You're
Speaker 1: lucky that people like you. I'm acting people like me,
Speaker 1: all right. There's people that can act circles around me.
Speaker 1: There's people that have been to college and got degrees
Speaker 1: in acting that could do Shakespeare all day, but people
Speaker 1: may not like them. So you're fucking lucky. How the
Speaker 1: fuck do you get an ego behind that? How do
Speaker 1: you start thinking you're on top of the world because
Speaker 1: you're fucking special. Everyone is dispensable. You know, here's the
Speaker 1: four stages of acting a show business. You ready one,
Speaker 1: who is iced tea? Two? Get me iced tea? Three?
Speaker 1: Get me a young iced tea? For who the fuck
Speaker 1: was ice Tea. That's it. You are dispensable, so we're
Speaker 1: people that they use to entertain and we understand that.
Speaker 1: But I don't care if you're in corporate world or whatever.
Speaker 1: Don't get on top and start thinking you can't be replaced.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest mistake you'll ever make. This has been
Speaker 1: another ice cold fact from me. Iced team. Listening again
Speaker 1: tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing. When things are
Speaker 1: going well, just be thankful and never take it for granted.
