For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.
At one point I took on a new job, and I just didn't have time to do anything but work.
I've been working since I was a child. I worked cutting lawns, delivering newspapers; I was a telephone salesperson; I was a guitar repairman.
I worked also, doing things such as our paper route and, later on, waitressing.
I worked in restaurants, bars, record stores; I did anything and everything to pay my way through university and LAMDA.
I left with nothing and needing to begin a new career.
For the longest time I was afraid I'd have to keep on working at the factories. There was a steel mill and a pottery; if you didn't go to college, you went to work in those places.
The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.
I've gotten to do a lot of stuff, traveled, worked hard at my career.
Up until like five seconds ago, I just took what jobs came along.
