Let's just say I decided that while my son is young I don't want to do projects that would take me away for months.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was 16 or 17, when I started, I never even considered not doing a project. I just wanted to work.
Life is too short to be doing work that doesn't make you feel happy and fulfilled. I'd rather wait for the right project, as opposed to just taking whatever is handed to me.
My childlike qualities sometimes lead me to jump into projects without thinking of the consequences.
I have the attention span of a 2-year-old. I like to jump from project-to-project.
But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.
I am prone to get carried away thinking about creative projects.
I have been devoted to my son, and there have been lots of jobs in the past that I haven't done because I didn't want to be away from him.
At this point in my life, I like the security of a job, while still having time for my young son and to pursue other creative work.
When I hear that a project takes place out of town, the material better be terrific, and it has to come at the right time. My kids are getting older, so it's getting easier, but being a mother - it's a difficult thing to juggle.
My system for staying young is to work a lot, to always have a project on the go.
