I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.'
A career is a journey. I've been fortunate enough to work and be very successful over three decades, but I haven't achieved nearly what I want to achieve yet.
I just know that it's smart for my career to carve my own path and do my own thing.
One of the things I realized early in my career is that you do what you believe, in knowing that if you don't, you will never like yourself. When you compromise out of fear or ambition, it eats inside you.
Where I am now, you're very much at everybody else's mercy. You have no control over your career in a lot of ways. It's just important to know what your own goals are, because that's empowering.
My own career reflects a strange dichotomy between the world we've long known and the world that will become.
I kind of have never thought about a career path, which is an unusual approach.
I've never been interested enough to have a career trajectory. I've never had any ambition or thought of what I should be doing or had any idea of what I'd like to do. Never. And still don't. And if something comes along, I say 'Fine.'
I've never planned my career, really. It just comes along, and I do whatever comes next!
I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
