Most of the top actors and actresses may be working in ten or twelve films at the same time so they will give one director two hours and maybe shoot in Bombay in the morning and Madras in the evening. It happens.
If you're changing the world you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.
I half knew what to expect when I saw the cricket ground in the morning. It was when I started to talk to people working out there I began to find what I was looking for.
I've just finished my 20th book this past year and I'm working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I'll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I'm an artist too.
A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play you have all day.
The brain is a wonderful organ it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
I had no idea that I would ever get involved with something like lending money to poor people given the circumstances in which I was working in Bangladesh.
Some people feel that what we're doing makes no sense that it's just a waste of money. But it's working.
Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear but I spend all my money on my show.
We can safely abandon the doctrine of the eighties namely that the rich were not working because they had too little money the poor because they had much.
Money and corruption are ruining the land crooked politicians betray the working man pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep and we're tired of hearing promises that we know they'll never keep.
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.
I love what I do and I think it shows. As my kids get older they can see me as a mom who loves working.
Now if you're Al Gore you can afford $10 a pop for squiggly-pig-tailed fluorescent light bulbs. But if you're mainstream America two or three kids mom and dad working outside the home that's not a very good deal.
My mother stopped working when she had my brother. She was a full time mom until I started getting heavily into ice skating lessons and it got to the point where they really needed my mom to earn an income.
I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular working-class mom and I've never really had the chance to do that.
My brother Jim and I spent many wonderful summers working on dairy farms in Wisconsin owned by Mom's cousins and as members of our local Boy Scout troop.
I'm like any working mom.
I think it's a tough road if you're a stay-at-home mom a working mom if you have a partner if you don't. It's the best job in the world and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.
Being a working mom is not easy. You have to be willing to screw up at every level.
I would go visit my mom on Sundays and my brother was working on stuff. I'd go in there and sing a little melody then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.
I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.
I'm kind of lucky that we've finished shooting 'Cougar Town ' so I'm able to kind of just enjoy my pregnancy and be a stay-at-home mom and go to prenatal Pilates and do all that fun stuff that if I were working would be almost impossible to do.
My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them.
