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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't the one managing my career back then, that was the problem - I was 14 years old.
I lived my twenties on the road, in all different countries experiencing this momentum of a career which was taking off in its own way.
My career has been a bit strange. I don't think it took the normal route.
I was always a bit old for my age, then suddenly I'm on set, working alongside the adults, skipping school completely for two years.
I was signed at 18 and had to grow up quickly.
Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.
I realized I was the one doing all the training, earning the money, and my parents were living off of me.
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.
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.
