I encourage first time filmmakers to be ambitious and take chances and risks, because you never know where your career is going to go.
A lot of people can figure out the social media aspect of it, or the merchandising aspect, or whatever and get enough momentum to start a career. To sustain it, you have to keep writing and you have to keep creating.
It took a very long time to really enjoy an audition, and to get in the room and do the best that I can. I've just been deeply grateful for my career, and that the love for the work and the characters is alive still. I try to let go of the armor as much as possible and not be afraid.
Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
I was an executive at Columbia Pictures for ten years. I was doing great. My career was on the upswing. But, right then, was when I said I gotta quit. I gotta start my own company. I gotta be on the other side of it because I felt the strong call on my life - to tell stories that, on the face of it, might not look like a commercial movie.
Building a career or a company is about living a few years of your life like most people won't so that you can spend the rest of your life living at a level most people can't.
As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family.
I knew there was a certain level that I could get to within the sporting world. But as I continued with my career, not only did I grow, but the sport grew. All of a sudden, all of these doors opened to me. It's been amazing. I guess I was born at the right time.
For a long time, I was a career woman and that was it.
I wanted to make sure that I did one movie in my career that mothers hug me for.
You have your bad moments in your career and your good moments. And it's been a good ride so far, but it's not over yet.
A career is all very well, but no one lives by work alone.
I'm disappointed about how my career ended.
I don't really think in career terms.
What I find really difficult is making career decisions.
My uncle was a cop, a career cop, on the beat in downtown Chicago. He was my hero when I was growing up.
And finally I begin to have such a success in my examinations that I found myself in a career you see.
Television isn't my career. Business is.
I'll always take an artistic endeavor over a career move.
Since it was too difficult to get into the Screen Actor's Guild in New York, I moved to Miami in 1982 and started a successful career as a television commercial actress, obtaining my SAG card there.
