I think 'No' is a very powerful word in our business that is very hard to use early on in your career. But I also think I was pretty arrogant when I was younger... I used that word maybe too much, but it did help me with finding roles that I did like.
I have the philosophy of yes. If anybody asks me to do a job, I say, 'Yes.' I've said yes to everything.
If you want something, work hard for it, go after it. I can't worry about all the 'no's, because I believe there's a yes, and I've been very fortunate to find those in my career and made the most of those opportunities.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in this business, it's tough to get through the next door.
If anybody asks me to do a job, I say, 'Yes.' I've said yes to everything.
Whether something is a success or not has never had much to do with what you do next.
I know the consequences of my decisions. I've said no to the biggest of brands. So when I say no to something, I know how much business I will lose out on.
You've got to keep pushing, keep driving, because in this business, you're going to hear 'no' a lot more than you hear 'yes.'
The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.
I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.
