I wasn't the one managing my career back then, that was the problem - I was 14 years old.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing is, I wasn't surrounded by lots of people who were helping me build a career.
I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.
Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.
It's taken me a long time to get back into the industry. People were not really open to me working, or being a part of the industry.
I didn't realize it. It looks like my career happened overnight, but it didn't. I was basically living on my own from when I was 17 on.
I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
It was only a few years ago that I couldn't get hired to save my life.
And I didn't, that's why my career was very short lived.
My career has been a bit strange. I don't think it took the normal route.
I'd started working when I was 21 and had been very determined about my career, very focused, even as a little kid, so it was something I had been working at for a long time.
