I spent a whole 12 years helping other people tell their stories as a publicist, so just to be able to go and write and get behind the camera, that's my thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a journalist, and I'm a filmmaker. I have an organization that's all about telling stories.
I love telling stories and I love writing so the fact that I can do it professionally is something that I've always been very grateful for.
I've always believed in working hard, and I'm grateful that people seem to connect with the kinds of stories I'm passionate about telling.
I approach writing stories as a recorder. I think of my role as some kind of reporting device - recording and projecting.
I think the hardest stories we tell are always the ones about ourselves. And as a journalist, I was taught that I'm never supposed to put myself in the story. So I spent what, 11, 12 years of my life writing about other people so I don't have to face my own life.
It's not like what I do, how I write, changes depending on the nature of the project. I give each story my all, regardless of if there are a few thousand people reading it or a few hundred thousand.
My job is more about helping people tell their stories in ever more interesting ways.
I write as well as I can. I'm a journalist at heart, so it's the story that matters.
In many ways, I've been writing personal stories all my life.
Most of the press is sent to my publicist so I do see most of what is written about me.
