At no point was my career under threat, so I always knew that I would get back into action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I did it my way, and I have no regrets when I look back on my career that it was just a big focus for me.
There were times, sure, I wanted my career to go better. But once it starts to go downhill, you can never get back, or only to some degree.
I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
When I first started out acting, I didn't have anything to lose. I had another career. If I fell on my face, I could say, 'I'll see ya,' and go back to working.
I still pinch myself that I had the career that I had.
Honestly, there was a time after I came out that I really did not think I would be working again.
I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.
When my career slowed, I knew deep down it wasn't over.
My career was always full of risks one way or another, and that's the way I like it.
