The hard thing for me is to say no to people.

Learn to say no in situations where saying no can be difficult, where it could mean getting fired. Say no anyway, because it could lead you to greater opportunities.

At one point I took on a new job, and I just didn't have time to do anything but work.

I think it's still hard for me to turn down work if it's really good because for so many years I was so desperate to get a job and couldn't and so it's kind of an anathema for me to turn down work.

There's been a lot of times that I thought I'd never work again; I was really bummed out.

I've gotten myself into some difficult situations because I couldn't say no.

I didn't like not having work and not having people return my calls.

There are too many things I find it difficult to say 'no' to.

Work isn't really work for me.
