I don't believe in kicking away ladders. By that, I mean the ladders by which I ascended as a young writer, small magazines that didn't pay anything, and that sort of thing.

I never think career.

I realized a career is built as much on what you don't do as what you do do.

I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.

I'm sure some people have an absolute grasp of where they are in their careers. I just don't think about it that much.

I don't have a career. I have a life.

I kind of have never thought about a career path, which is an unusual approach.

I'm never trying to break a career high out there.

I don't really think in career terms.

A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.
