Being spokesman for a generation is the worst job I ever had.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never saw myself as a spokesman for a generation. It was all a bit heavy for me. I saw myself as a songwriter and wrote for myself, which I still do, and I also wanted to communicate with my audience.
If being a spokesman for a generation is a fleeting occupation, being a symbol of an era is downright dangerous for anyone who has the bad luck to outlive it.
I'm speaking for all of us. I'm the spokesman for a generation.
It wasn't until I was in that world, directing shows and movies, that I realized basically my job is to give back to another generation what the generation before me gave to me.
My dad was a terrible businessman.
I was a schoolteacher for a while, and it was the worst job.
My generation were all careerists.
The previous generation paved the way for my generation to gallop unheeded into jobs previously reserved for men.
I think the absolute worst job I ever had - not because it was a terrible job, just because I was just so bad at it - was when I worked at a scenic factory in Chicago.
The worst job I ever had was an office job that I had for six years, and that's nothing against the people who I was surrounded by, because they were wonderful people.
