I don't do the media because of 'Woo-woo, Julia Butterfly,' as I call it. I'm not into promoting me. I'm into talking about why I've done what I've done, why I continue to do this work and why other people should care.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really live my life in the media spotlight. People don't know that much really about me or what I think.
I don't stage my own publicity.
I'm not a media darling. I'm not on the cover of all these magazines. I just quietly do my thing.
I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
Media is very different from financial services. People are very fickle and very vocal. They believe that things should be one way and not the other. It's still very rewarding to build products for huge audiences. It feels like you're making an impact.
I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.
When it comes to helping out, I don't believe in doing it for the media attention. My goal is to support the organizations that need help.
I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.
The truth is, truly passionate media creators don't get into the media business to make huge gains from spectacular unicorn exits. When it happens, we certainly all cheer (and perhaps secretly hope it happens to us). But the fact is, we make media because we don't know what else to do with ourselves. It's how we're wired, so to speak.
I'm obsessed with media and the way audiences can become creative participants.
