I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never been very good at manipulating my career, but fortunately I haven't needed to.
I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
I never felt my career was going backwards.
There were times, sure, I wanted my career to go better. But once it starts to go downhill, you can never get back, or only to some degree.
I never really had a career, to be honest with you. I never in my life sat down and planned it. I have thought, 'Oh, I'd like to do this,' like anybody would. But I'm not the type that says, 'If I do this, it will lead to that.'
I've managed to keep my career going in a way that suits me. I'll perform, and then I'll go home to my actual life, and I've never been so visible.
I've had to change careers several times. Sometimes because my interests changed. Sometimes because all bridges have been burned beyond recognition, sometimes because I desperately needed money. And sometimes just because I hated everyone in my old career or they hated me.
People tried to make me something that I wasn't at the beginning of my career.
It changed my life in a lot of ways - before I got that role I was just going from job to job, not really having enough money to be able to do what I wanted to do.
