I work in the film business, where schmoozing is an art form, lunch hour lasts from 12:30 until 3, and every meeting takes an hour whether there's an hour's worth of business or not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I get to work at about 7:30 or 8 unless I have a breakfast meeting.
An average working day begins at 8 or 9 am, includes an hour for lunch, and ends at 5 or 6 pm.
Office hours are from 12 to 1 with an hour off for lunch.
I literally have meetings at eight o'clock in the morning, and I finish at nine o'clock at night. It sounds pathetic, but I don't even have time to go shopping.
Lunch is usually a salad or a sandwich. If I'm on set, I'll have catering, but I'm well behaved with that stuff. It's easy to go crazy - they know how to feed you.
I like company lunches because I think going out wastes valuable time; plus, a lot of good ideas come up over lunch.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
If you want to make money and have action, you need to work from like, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Those are the hours. That just doesn't fit with a lot of people's schedules. And that's just the start of it. You've got to realize what you are getting into.
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.
I enter my studio at 9 a.m. I have lunch here, I return right away to my work and I go out to dinner at 8 p.m. My daily tasks vary very much.
