Sometimes I think your face and your bearing and your energy have so much more to do with the jobs you get than the actual work and the time and the effort that you put in, or the talent even.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every job I take, within minutes I'm thinking, 'I can't do this.' I think it's what makes me work. People think I just swagger in and do it. But I doubt myself all the time. It's what pushes me, what makes me work harder. The older I get, the less I take for granted.
There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
Looking at faces of people, one gets the feeling there's a lot of work to be done.
My soul is more at rest from the tempter when I am busily employed.
I'm patient when it comes to my career, which is unlike me, but there are no stars in my eyes. I make where I go. It's that sort of thing.
I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.
I love the physicality of my job and how my mind and body are most happy when I'm expressing and moving. My face was always secondary to body alignment and the dynamism of making a moment come alive.
I think I've realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don't do as by the things you do.
When I work, I work very hard. When I don't work, I have to do something where my endeavor can totally take me off what I do professionally, like sailing. It takes all your attention.
I've never been someone who's been given work because of the way I look or because I have some box office appeal. I get work because people know I'm swinging as hard as I can, trying to connect, giving it my level best. I have a face for radio, but here I am doing what I do.
