I've been working since I was a child. I worked cutting lawns, delivering newspapers; I was a telephone salesperson; I was a guitar repairman.

I'm a kid who grew up working hard.

I gave up my childhood for a career.

Growing up, I knew you were supposed to have a profession - and something better than being a shopkeeper, which is what my parents were.

I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.

I did a lot of jobs when I was a kid - paper boy, grocery boy, all those things. I guess maybe I got a point of view then.

I was working probably at the age of 10, when I had my first paper route. I had every different kind of job you could possibly imagine as a young kid.

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.

One of my first memories of being a kid was, 'I want to have a real job when I grow up.' And to me that meant you wear a suit and a hat and carry a briefcase and go to your job.
