I always believe it's better to have 30 imaginations working on a project rather than one imagination telling the other 29 what to do.

I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination.

I've been working on the soprano saxophone for 40 years and the possibilities are astounding. It's up to you the only limit is the imagination.

I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where I'm just working on my analytical mind.

As an actor you have to have a strong vivid imagination as you're working and when the camera's rolling but there's certainly a part of you that is aware of real life that you're making a movie.

I enjoy working on a movie that lets your imagination run wild it's great to be a part of and watch.

Novelists are not equipped to make a movie in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they're casting they're dressing the scene they're working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they're also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.

A man at work making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works.

There's a hysterical tired sense of humor that comes after working 14 hours a day six days a week. I like those things because they take the pressure off the constant stress.

You can find heroism everyday like guys working terrible jobs because they've got to support their families. Or as far as humor the things I see on the job on the street are far funnier than anything you'll ever see on TV.

I think it's really important to give yourself a very big question that you're working on that you can come home to even if you you know are going to have to go without a cup of coffee or even a meal that that should nourish you.

Sometimes I do envision just being a stay at home mom but not working isn't an option for me currently.

I just moved into a new house so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best than I'm able to come to my job and really be feeling the best so if I'm not working out or going on a hike than I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.

My sisters both are working mothers. I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn't some heroic thing. That doesn't mean it isn't confusing or difficult - especially that question of how you find a balance.

My doctor asked me if I smoked and I said only when I'm working golfing or drinking. Then I realized the only time I don't smoke is when I'm home. I didn't even realize I'd become a smoker.

But you know there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day working one-on-one getting all this attention - they go home they're finished. They don't stall they don't do their homework in front of the TV.

The thing about being at home versus being out in the world working is it's a whole different vibe. When I'm home with my kids and partner I will cook - even though she's a very good cook. She's learned over the years. We started with basics you know how to saute onions how to saute mushrooms.

Many working mothers feel guilty about not being at home. And when they are there they wish it could be perfect. This pressure to make every minute happy puts working parents in a bind when it comes to setting limits and modifying behavior.

The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies and that's where I found my material in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired you don't come home your best self.

I feel like I'm working on an oil rig right now. I'm away from home a lot.

The best thing for me is when I'm not working is to be at home and to have a script or two scripts is better and to be just walking around the house and just thinking about the lines.

All of a sudden to get all of this attention and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn't see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying.

And that's actually the brunt of what we do is people going straight from their workplace straight from home straight into the classroom and working directly with the students. So then we're able to work with thousands and thousands more students.

When I stop working I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture or whatever they do and go home. For me it has to be continuous.
