Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to take control of your own career.
I only have control over what I do.
I just work hard and do things as they come along. But it has been a challenge to learn that I have to say 'no' to things and to know how and what to prioritize.
I think as an artist or a writer it's OK to want to control your own work.
What you want to do is, you want to get away from people being afraid to show their work, which is the first thing, because they don't want to be shot down.
I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
I can't worry about the consequences of what I do; that's not my job.
My job is to put myself out there. It's beyond my control how I'm perceived.
Don't let anyone tell you not to do what you want to do.
In my work I have complete control, but about my life, I don't want to.
