Quote by Barry Corbin

For an actor, you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All you've got to sell is yourself. You're not selling products, they're not turning down a car, they're turning you down. Most people can't handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.

For an actor, you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All

Summary

This quote highlights the reality of being an actor, where facing constant rejection is an inherent part of the profession. Unlike selling tangible products, actors sell themselves and their abilities, making each rejection personal. The quote suggests that many individuals are unable to cope with such rejection, as they are not psychologically equipped to handle the frequency and personal nature of the setbacks. It emphasizes the resilience and perseverance required to thrive in the acting industry, where the ability to handle rejection is essential.

Self-sacrifice, magnanimity in decisive moments, courage, intelligence--and with all that, a generous mixture of self-love, ambition, vanity, petty personal ticklishness, and a good many of those things which a man simply cannot do without.
