People do more important jobs than acting in film that should be recognised, but for some reason it’s big money, so people are elevated in status. If I was a bus driver, I’m sure you wouldn’t be interviewing me.
Meaning of the quote
This quote suggests that some jobs, like acting in films, are seen as more important and valuable than other jobs, even though the other jobs may be just as important. The actor believes that people who do important jobs like being a bus driver often don't get the same recognition and status as actors, just because acting in films makes a lot of money. He thinks this is unfair and that all important jobs should be valued equally, regardless of how much money they make.
