Quitting a long-held job can bring happiness in ways you may not expect, said former “Law & Order” actor Sam Waterston at Princeton University…

That's despite the financial and industry security his enduring role as District Attorney Jack McCoy on the crime series brought. The part"did for me the long-haul things everyone needs from a job," Waterston said."It kept a roof over our heads, it put our kids through college, it kept me out of trouble, it made it easier to get other work."

Waterston didn't make until after throwing in the towel."When I did finally quit, I was amazed by the amount of space the job had been taking up in my head," he said."A big piece of myself that I didn't even know I'd rented out is mine again." As an Oscar-nominated actor who has won an Emmy and a Golden Globe, Waterson was in an unusually stable place in his career when he decided to leave"Law & Order."
