I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.
The thing is, I wasn't surrounded by lots of people who were helping me build a career.
People tried to make me something that I wasn't at the beginning of my career.
I had in mind a long career.
It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.
I've never been very good at manipulating my career, but fortunately I haven't needed to.
I think the kind of career I've had, something would have had to be sacrificed.
You need to have a life outside your career.
I never, ever would have imagined the kind of career I've had. It just wouldn't have occurred to me that anything like this could have been possible. I didn't have any such aspirations. And I still can't believe my good fortune.
I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
