I always wanted to work on the consumer market; I always wanted to work with people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always knew I wanted to run a business someday.
I got the first job and kept going. Once I got a job, I very much wanted to keep getting jobs, basically. I did try to learn what I could in those first couple of decades.
I love the market, it is my work, my play and my life.
I was raised to want to work for a living. The idea of just sitting around or going shopping every day appalls me.
I was in constant demand, in my professional life and my personal life.
It's taken me a long time to get back into the industry. People were not really open to me working, or being a part of the industry.
Well, I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.
I studied business in school, so I worked for Chanel in marketing. And I also worked part-time in an office. So I had office jobs. And then I realized I needed to get the hell out of there, just realizing there was no fulfillment.
No one in my family had a retail or marketing background. They were professionals. They didn't understand just what I was doing by going into retailing. After I started, though, it got into my blood. I knew this was what I wanted.
I never really marketed myself, so each job I was given was a new marketing tool, and that would be the way I marketed myself.
