I've got recruits that will text and call and do everything in the middle of the night. And I'm thinking, 'I'm with my family.' But you've got to dedicate time to that, or you can't do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Family hang-outs can go very late into the night and involve lots of music.
When you're with your family you're with them and when you're working you're doing that. I definitely try to separate the time when I'm working and when I have my personal time.
You don't wanna be around your family constantly.
There'll come a writing phase where you have to defend the time, unplug the phone and put in the hours to get it done.
I won't try and combine training and a family.
I've made choices that work with my family. I want to work and I want to be with my family so I just walk the tight-rope of showing up for both those things.
I'm so used to being within 10 minutes of my family.
Night-time is when I brainstorm; last thing, when the family's asleep and I'm alone, I think about the next day's writing and plan a strategy for my assault on the blank page.
There's the job and then there's my family. There's very little time beyond that for friends.
I refuse to work evenings or weekends. If a script sees my character meeting for dinner, I put a line through the words and make them meet for lunch.
