Meaning
This reads as a wry family joke about how irregular an acting life can be. The line suggests long stretches of waiting punctuated by brief bursts of real work, and it can be read as affectionate but blunt about the profession's instability. It lands for anyone in a job that looks glamorous from the outside but is mostly patience and uncertainty.
