Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

It's important for women to work. They need to keep their independence, to keep earning and being challenged.

Some women work while they are pregnant, but not me. That was a choice I had made. That's when I took a break. Men can work at whatever stage they are; whether they turn daddy, they still have their own thing. But women can't afford that because by being mothers, they have to be there for their kids.

I think, as a woman, you do sort of have to work twice as hard, but I don't feel as if I wasn't given opportunities.

You can employ men and hire hands to work for you, but you must win their hearts to have them work with you.

I'm not saying that women shouldn't pursue careers, but if it is going to be equal in the workplace, it should certainly pan out to be a little bit more equal in the home, too.

Without the discipline of having a wife to come home to, you end up just working all the time.

And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.

Women need to understand that it is possible to stay in the workforce. A lot of women decide to take a back seat in their professional careers even before they are pregnant or are ready to have children.
