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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In your career, you must be so careful; otherwise, you get caught in a particular image, and it's hard to break.
I think most of my career has been built on conviction and the personality to carry that image or stride confidently on the catwalk. That was my beginning and, hopefully, my legacy.
Careers are funny things. They begin mysteriously and, just as mysteriously, they can end; and I am at just the very beginning of what I hope will be a long and satisfying life in the theater. But, whatever happens, I am grateful to have had my novice work received so well, and so quickly.
My career has been very strange. My career is like a heart monitor. I get involved in a good project now and then to keep things going. And then I make things that I work on that I hope are going to be good so I can make a living and keep a roof over the heads of those little monsters I have in my house.
It's not about my career now. It's just about finding great work and having a good time.
Time scares me: having enough time to do all the things that I want to do in life, just even in terms of forgetting about the business I'm in.
I realized a career is built as much on what you don't do as what you do do.
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.
Who can worry about a career? Have a life.
An image has stuck for most of my career and it isn't flattering.
