PITTSBURGH — When Patrick Wilson attended Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1990s, he remembered hearing Holly Hunter and other famous alumni speak on campus and thinking about how long it would take to have a career like that.
"It seems so far away to have that kind of career, or at least still be doing what you love," Wilson recalled to the Post-Gazette. "And now I'm that guy and I've been that guy now for like 15 years. It's a good reminder when I go back [to CMU] to really try to teach students ... you still have to work hard.
"You're in charge of your career like you're in charge of getting up and going to class every day. You have to keep your foot on the pedal the whole time and that never changes."
