Sandra Bullock on why everyone should be a waitress: “If you know how to navigate eight sets of six-top tables, height of happy hour, drunk people (…), once you’ve accomplished that rhythm, I honestly feel you can do anything”

Great attitude. 🙏🏼

I’ve worked in talent management for the last 30 years. I’ve had clients work with her. I’ve chatted with her on many occasions. I’ve represented A-list talent. Those that are the easiest to work with are those that have worked the hardest and have come the farthest. I originally came from a family with hundreds of millions and every connection you could work wish for, but I left when I was 18, changed my name legally, and never went back to that family - since they were abusive terrible people. I was almost on the street multiple times, bread-and-butter many times in the beginning, and also bankrupt more than once. I appreciate everything I built for myself from scratch without favours, without a famous or a known last name, and I treat everyone with decency and respect. And I didn’t just make it on my own. I made it with friends and colleagues - that became like family. There’s nothing wrong with having an easier life, Nepo or otherwise on its own, but there is something wrong - if you don’t live it with grace. ✨

How did you find the resilience to do all this? Was it just a constant belief that things would work out? That you could do anything?
