I've never been very good at manipulating my career, but fortunately I haven't needed to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
I never really had a career, to be honest with you. I never in my life sat down and planned it. I have thought, 'Oh, I'd like to do this,' like anybody would. But I'm not the type that says, 'If I do this, it will lead to that.'
I've tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that's worked for me.
Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.
I have a career, I worked so hard for it.
I have been in control of what I've been doing, of the career I've put together.
I realized a career is built as much on what you don't do as what you do do.
It's not easy to sustain a long career, and sometimes I don't even think about how long I've been doing it.
I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
You have to take control of your own career.
