My career was always full of risks one way or another, and that's the way I like it.

I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.

I was definitely an at-risk kid growing up.

By my mid-20s, I was a total mess.

Taking a risk is always frightening, but I gave myself a set period of time and had enough money to see me through. I operated from the belief that things would be okay, that if I wasn't successful I would find myself a job, but either way, I would be fine.

I'm somebody who takes risks, for better or worse. Fortunately, most of them have been for the better!

But no, had I been successful in my 20s I would have been just fine. But it is nice to defy the odds.

Often you need to take some risk, but it must be a realistic risk, you can't take a crazy risk.

I regret waiting until my mid-twenties to really start seeing the world. I think I should have taken more risks when I was younger and worried less about being ready to grow up.
