People for the most part can smell lies.
I talk so much about sex that girls just want to meet me.
I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way.
If someone plays a brooding actor in a film, people think they're brooding all the time.

After this whole acting thing is over and done, you eventually have to be human. Some people are never human. It's very weird.
People want their 15 minutes and are willing to do anything to get it.
