Some of the things I did in my early career were massive learning curves because I had no one to guide me. You learn very quickly because it costs you torment and trouble.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.
I learnt the theory of movement, which I still teach sometimes. I was very, very ambitious to learn a skill.
I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.
I really didn't even have time to get that many lessons, to be honest, because I was suddenly on the road. I was kind of thrown in the deep end. But that wasn't a bad thing when I look back at it.
The willingness to keep learning is, I think, the most important thing about trying to be good at anything. You never want to stop learning.
In my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly.
Every single thing that you learn really just gives you more comfort. It's something I counsel kids all the time: if someone is willing to teach you something for free, take them up on it. Do it. Every single time. All it does is make you more likely to be able to succeed. And it's kind of a nice way to go through life.
I had tutors, but education was just not a priority.
I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.
If I've learned anything in my career, it's that nothing worthwhile in life comes easy. That's just the way it is.
