You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes I get really down on myself for not having the exact career I want, but it's ok as long as you know what you want and you're going towards that. Accept it's going to be a different path than you thought in the first place.
If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.
An image has stuck for most of my career and it isn't flattering.
It's not easy to sustain a long career, and sometimes I don't even think about how long I've been doing it.
For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them.
A career is a journey. I've been fortunate enough to work and be very successful over three decades, but I haven't achieved nearly what I want to achieve yet.
I've never been one to carefully calculate my career decisions, to sit on the outside looking in. I go with my passion and what moves me.
I never really think about what I have to do to stick to my image. I just follow what I like to do. Sometimes it's glamorous, sometimes it's not.
I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do.
I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.
