I had no plans to be a director.

I knew nothing about sales, marketing or how to run a company. Nor did I have a desire to do any of those things.

I never learned management. I never went to business school. I'm an artist. I happened to have really clear ideas of what I thought my business should be.

There are no managers like there used to be managers.

I have never been interested in specific roles.

Until 'Scrubs,' I didn't have a business manager. I learned everything on my own - and I learned the hard way.

I figured managing people was obvious - I'd tell someone what they needed to do and they'd do what I wanted. It turns out that's not the case. It was frustrating at first.

There is no handbook about how a career is going to go.

I wasn't the one managing my career back then, that was the problem - I was 14 years old.

I never had a long-term plan.
