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.
For many women going back to work a few months after having a baby is overwhelming and unmanageable. As strange as it may seem things get even more difficult for a working mom after the second and third baby arrive. By that time the romance of being a modern 'superwoman' wears off and reality sets in.
I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough you should go out and help someone else.
Being a mom is hard I think a lot of working moms feel that way.
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.
I think while all mothers deal with feelings of guilt working mothers are plagued by guilt on steroids!
Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children you're thinking about working.
Women want mediocre men and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
The working men I'll go by and they'll whistle. At first they whistle because they think 'Oh it's a girl. She's got blond hair and she's not out of shape ' and then they say 'Gosh it's Marilyn Monroe!'
I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.
