I don't think I've worked with anyone where I haven't seen some progress. Now sometimes you can't take someone where they want to go, not all the way, and sometimes you stop, and they do it or don't do it on their own thereafter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, once I've worked on something and it's finished, it's like an ex-boyfriend: you don't go back to them.
I worked all the time. Every moment I wasn't working, I was home with my family. I got divorced. And now I'm doing it all over again, and I've learned that the key is, I've got to work less.
One of the things about having worked at certain places is that it becomes very hard after you stop working at them to continue a relationship, to continue even reading them. So I must confess that I don't read 'New York' magazine anymore.
During my career several people have tried to push me out the door... Nobody has succeeded yet.
I've always been able to let stuff go when I'm done with work.
No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.
When you find somebody who doesn't give and take, you go, 'Remind me never to work with you again.'
It's a difficult job to do, but that is why we do it. Only so many people can do it. But it, it enables you to... for a brief period of time to kind of get away. You have to go back and deal with, but it's a good escape.
I always worked pretty steadily. But maybe out of some kind of fear, I put the brakes on letting myself be as successful as I'd like to be. More and more, I've taken the brakes off and let whatever happens happen.
What I've learnt is never to work with the person you are in a relationship with because sometimes you need a break.
