Joey Quote: “I've been at this for over 20 years and in this crazy industry, there are no guarantees. Most don't make it and I consider myself so lucky to have been able to take the opportunities I've been given. You've really got to push and keep going, but you also need support. It can't always be business; you have to have people that mean something to you both on and off set. Otherwise, it’s just another job. If it wasn't for the love and support from my family and friends I would not be where I am today. You can't be in this industry for fame and fortune; if that's why you're acting, you're going to be disappointed. Be in it because you love it and you can't imagine doing anything else.”
