I have never, for better or worse, thought about a 'career path' or anything like that.

A career path is rarely a path at all. A more interesting life is usual a more crooked, winding path of missteps, luck and vigorous work. It is almost always a clumsy balance between the things you try to make happen and the things that happen to you.

I've never really had much of a career plan, and interesting opportunities kept cropping up.

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 always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.

My career has been a bit strange. I don't think it took the normal route.

I've never been interested enough to have a career trajectory. I've never had any ambition or thought of what I should be doing or had any idea of what I'd like to do. Never. And still don't. And if something comes along, I say 'Fine.'

I've never looked at my career in terms of, What haven't I done that I want to do? I just generally find a story that I think is a good one and go to work.

I've never planned my career, really. It just comes along, and I do whatever comes next!

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
