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

There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.

Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.

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.

There's been a lot of times that I thought I'd never work again; I was really bummed out.

I still treat every job as if I might never get hired again as far as the way I save money and live really modestly.

And I've been lucky in that I haven't had another job besides acting in the last five years.

I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.

When I was 22, I was thrown out of graduate school and then fired from three jobs in a row at higher and higher salaries where I saved nothing.

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.
