Quote

I will never work in a cubicle.

From the beginning, I imagined I would have a long work life.

One of the difficulties of a job in the, quote, 'real world' is you don't really get time to shut yourself off in a room and think.

In my wildest dreams I never thought - well, I never thought I'd work.

There was a day where I was sitting at my desk, working 90-hour work weeks, in a suit, looking at a computer, with all these pitch books on my desk, and I just thought, 'This can't be my life.'

In the past, I've thrown myself into work so much there's been very little room for anything else.

I studied business in school, so I worked for Chanel in marketing. And I also worked part-time in an office. So I had office jobs. And then I realized I needed to get the hell out of there, just realizing there was no fulfillment.

I wanted to figure out a way of living where I didn't have to be in an office every day.

I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.

After I left college I thought, very naively, that either you became someone interesting - an artist - or you went into academia. If you ended up in an office you were dull and lacking. And I ended up in an office.
