When I work on stories, I tend to lose sight of everything else. I forget to pay bills or to shave. I don't change my clothes as often as I should.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are so few stories being produced that are human. I suffer with the loss of that. I feel kind of out of place, even though I've continued to work.
I've had to adapt my wardrobe to my various roles, both at the office, as a mom, and for television. When I shop for the season I look for pieces that will suit every facet of my daily life, not just one single occasion.
Stories are the only thing that I can be bothered with. It's the only way that I can do anything, even if I'm quite useless. It's the only area in being human where I could be a little useful.
When I started, I knew I didn't fit any visual that anyone was going to lie down and take their clothes off about. Work doesn't come to me; I go out and look for it.
Sometimes you lose sight of what's going on around you.
When I worked as a music and fashion photographer, I always had the nagging feeling that there was something missing, that I wasn't using my skills productively. I gave up photography - I walked away from it completely - and started doing care work.
I have a strange habit of walking down streets and staring up, rather than looking at shopfronts and stuff like that.
I barely can go shopping for clothes. I find it difficult to walk into stores. The whole thing bores me so much.
I have grown used to the focus on my clothes and my shoes.
When I work on stories, I tend to be pretty obsessive.
