Careers Quotes

Well, I liked it - that was the main thing. I liked it, but I didn't think of it in terms of a career. I didn't really know; I didn't really think about it. One thing just led to another until finally I quit my job as a salesman and found myself working as a photographer.

What is a career, actually? Nobody can destroy my career. Only I can destroy my career, if I am a bad conductor.
