The first time in my career I thought it makes no sense anymore, that I'll retire.
Everybody that I was in school with had an uncle or father in the law, and I started to realize that I was going to end up writing briefs for about ten years for these fellows who I thought I was smarter than. And I was kind of losing my feeling for that.
I'm unqualified for anything else. I'm barely qualified for this.
A lot of people don't enjoy their jobs, and it's one of the main things we like to complain about.
I'm not a huge fan of my work.
When I read 'Ray' for the first time, I had just quit. When I read 'The Last King of Scotland,' I had just quit. I hadn't quite quit when I read 'Scandal,' but I was feeling really unfulfilled as an actor.
I can't understand marketing. I think it's because I never looked at what I do as a job. I've rebelled against that and I will continue to.
I am tired of being in an industry that doesn't appreciate me.
The whole thing with so many people empathising with 'The Office' has made me aware of how people aren't doing jobs they love, aren't living a life they love. Which I find devastating.
What you want to do is not go to work. You're not missing a thing. The worst thing I did was start work young.
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
I became the face of the franchise in Miami, and I don't think they wanted me to be that. The respect was just never there.
Modeling, for me, was not fulfilling. I didn't see the point - although I was able to travel a great deal. I lived in Italy, Germany, and Spain, but I wasn't devoted to it.
My generation is having its midlife crisis in its 20s.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
Of course I think everybody has moments in their careers when they're frustrated, or you're not happy with the current situation.
I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
I know what I do for a living is ridiculous.
