It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoy my work too much to force-feed myself with pressure.
I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.
Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
Working is a great distraction technique.
Doing press is like eating at McDonald's: while it's going on it's vaguely enjoyable - you're seduced by your own vanity and taking yourself rather seriously - but immediately afterwards you feel sick.
So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity.
I'm not that great with press sometimes.
When you're by yourself, you realize how much pressure you're under and how much work you have to do.
Get tough: don't work under pressure; work over pressure.
I think at times I read too much of my own press. I wish I was better at taking in how great my life is, but that's surprisingly elusive. I tend to be very hard on myself and insecure about failing no matter what happens.
