The thing is, I wasn't surrounded by lots of people who were helping me build a career.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People tried to make me something that I wasn't at the beginning of my career.
I wasn't the one managing my career back then, that was the problem - I was 14 years old.
I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
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.
Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.
And I didn't, that's why my career was very short lived.
I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
I have had a career in which, almost without exception, every single person I've worked with has helped me.
Probably some of the projects I chose to do after that had more to do with what people thought of me. The industry was very open and probably hoping that I could do anything.
