Many people have asked me how I feel about losing my job.

The best way to lose a job is just not to care. When you do not care, it shows in everything you do.

Once you see someone lose it, you can never look at them the same way again.

When people have lost their jobs or are afraid of losing their jobs in the future, they lash out. They want others to know about their fears, their pain.

There's nothing worse than people who want to make you feel better when you are losing. I just want to smack them.

How can you not be affected by disappointments relating to work you love so much?

People often think that losing your job is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. And, in some cases, that might be true. But for me, unemployment can be the time and the motivation to finally go after my goals.

For the most part, I meet people who are like 'I really like your work. I'm watching your career. I want to see you do well. Keep doing what you do.' I get that so much, and it's so reassuring. I often wish that so many people, who just work normal jobs, could get a pat on the back as much as I do, because it's very complimentary.

I've met a lot of people who've lost their jobs and they still have a sense of humor.

But here's the thing: I had this great job, and I would still feel terribly depressed. I would just be like, 'This isn't the sweet spot. I thought this would be it, and I don't feel happy.'
