My career was always full of risks one way or another, and that's the way I like it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.
Taking a risk is always frightening, but I gave myself a set period of time and had enough money to see me through. I operated from the belief that things would be okay, that if I wasn't successful I would find myself a job, but either way, I would be fine.
There are so many opportunities that I could've gotten before if I had just took a little more of a risk.
There is a short window at the beginning of one's professional life, when it is comparatively easy to take big risks. Make the most of that time, before circumstances make you risk averse.
Just taking risks for risk's sake, that doesn't do it for me. I'm willing to take risks that I think are worth it, and I've worked so hard to make sure that I survive.
If it was really successful, it was a life calling, a career I was excited about doing, so I didn't think the overall risk was anywhere near as high as what the reward was.
As I began to take risks, leaving my very comfortable and secure job and taking this first leap into fashion, every subsequent risk became easier to take because I began to see the kind of opportunity and excitement that risk-taking offered.
My whole career is just terror, from beginning to end. That's kind of my thing. A lot of happy accidents happened.
I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.
You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.
