I never had an urgency about building a career. I do something and then I forget about it. Then I'll go sit in Rome for a while or fall in love and vanish. I'm not driven at all - much to the dismay of my Aunt Louise. But if something really smells good, I go out for it. I am not a passive person. If I am intrigued with something, then I can't be stopped.
