I don't have a mentor in the strict definition. I take as much advice and inspiration as I can from the people I am close to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a person of mentors.
I look up to a lot of people, but outside of my parents, I've never really had a mentor.
Being a mentor is something that's new for me but a role that I take very seriously.
You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.
I have a mentor. I have... guides. I have a lot of guides. Not a lot, but people whose opinions I really respect and who I will turn to.
I don't think I've ever had a mentor. The closest thing is my friend Christopher Fowler, another writer. Chris kept me sane for a long time before I made it.
All of us are mentors. You're mentors right here and now. And one of the things I've always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.
What you want in a mentor is someone who truly cares for you and who will look after your interests and not just their own. When you do come across the right person to mentor you, start by showing them that the time they spend with you is worthwhile.
I have, I think, eight mentors. It's crazy, but I need them. They are all really important to me. They keep me grounded and advise me.
I am my own mentor. I like to listen to myself to improve.
