Some people care about their work lasting forever - I have little interest in it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have never been satisfied with a piece of work I have been actively involved in, and would never want to be.
My whole career has been from scratch, so I never took it for granted that people care and support what I do.
I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.
What I love about my work is the variety and not knowing what's coming next, and being able to embrace something for a period of time and know something new is going to follow.
It's something that I love about this business and that scares me about this business, but in a good way. You just never know what's going to happen. And things change constantly. But there's always opportunities for new work, so you just have to enjoy the job that you're on while you're on it because it doesn't last forever.
You don't always get to work as much as you like, because I'm waiting to find things that I care about. Sometimes that's frustrating.
It's phenomenally important to me that, if I'm going to be spending years on a project, I need to be interested in the whole thing. I'm not there to be on my own. And if I'm going to be with these people, I'd best be interested in their work.
When you spend a year or two researching a subject, and you're still fascinated by it, that's a good indicator that what you're doing will appeal to others, as well.
It's almost a problem how much I enjoy my work.
You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad, one often feels strangely restricted, not finding time to simmer, although one actually has many interests.
