As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professional in the world waiting to work with you, then you are sunk.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Show business is fickle, and though I have been blessed with a healthy career, who knows how long that will last?
I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.
Every opportunity that comes your way, you can't take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can't be such an elitist, to say no, that's not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever.
The sooner you learn to finish things, and as a matter of course finish your creative endeavors, the better. It took me a long time to learn that.
When you see the industry's fickleness so early on, you realise that you are only as good as your last release. It is all about your work. And that has set the way I look at my profession and what I do in my career.
When you enjoy what you do, work becomes play.
Otherwise, my whole career has just been flinging myself at whatever is most overdue first and letting everything else stack up.
I think it's like, you know, you can't get ahead of yourself, because no amount of success or exposure or opportunity is going to really matter or be ultimately fulfilling unless you can be totally present in what you're doing right now.
I love my career right now, and I won't be with anybody until they make my life as satisfying and as happy as my work makes me.
As long as you're fully present in what you're doing at the moment, you're doing it.
