I grew up with my grandmother because my parents were making careers and didn’t have much time for me. She was a highly religious Serbian Orthodox, spending most of her time in church. It’s a great mix, and I use all these elements in my work.

In my experience, most federal prosecutors, at every level, are seeking to make a name for themselves, and the best way to do that is by prosecuting some high-level person. While companies that are indicted almost always settle, individual defendants whose careers are at stake will often go to trial.
Some people are diplomatic, some people are outspoken, but the next generation is very clear. People are speaking their mind out. People are worried about other things besides their own careers. It’s not accurate to say that they don’t speak out.

I was in my 30s when I quit my job and ran for Congress. So often, we’re told it’s OK to take these big career leaps when we’re in our 20s, but we cast such an unfavorable light on those who take big risks later on in their careers or when they start families. There’s enormous pressure to have it all figured out.
People don’t usually have long careers as heavyweights because they mature into the role. Look at amateur wrestling, you don’t usually see guys go to heavyweight as freshman. I was just blessed that even though I wasn’t as big as some of the other guys, I was able to step in right away at heavyweight.
I don’t like to use the word ‘fake.’ A lot of our stuff is choreographed. But there is a lot of physicality that happens during the course of a match and our careers. There’s a lot of physicality that happens to us and you can’t deny that.
People shouldn’t choose their careers on whether it’s cool or not. They should choose their careers on, ‘Are they good at it, do they love it, is it going to give them a good life?’

You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.
I had to go to see the careers woman at school, and when she asked me what I wanted to do after school, I told her flat: ‘I want to be a professional footballer.’ I can remember her being silent for a few seconds, just looking at me.
My greatest reward is knowing for certain, as I do with many other acts and artistes, that without Jonathan King being alive and involved, Genesis would not exist, and the guys would have had careers as intended – as accountants and lawyers!

I did a film in which Andy Garcia and Michael Keaton both played the leads, ‘Desperate Measures,’ and interestingly enough it was their biggest payday. The film didn’t do well, and it kind of marked their careers. They’ve done less since. It all changed.
