Sometimes I really need the money, really need to go straight to work. But if I had the absolute choice - money no object, my mortgage paid off - I'd really just work once or twice a year - but wouldn't everybody! - or at least do a different job sometimes.

I hadn't worked for a couple of years so I thought it would be nice to earn some money and pay the bills.

I save money when I'm working so that I never have to take a role simply to pay the bills.

I've become a professional failure - in order to pay the mortgage I have to remain unemployed. Luckily, a disaster always seems to befall me at exactly the right moment.

Whenever I get frustrated, I tell myself, you could be working at a 7-Eleven right now, so never take for granted what you do for a living.

Work? I never worked a day in my life. I always loved what I was doing, had a passion for it.

I'm a workaholic. I could easily work 300-plus days of the year.

The only thing I ever wanted to do is never have to work a day in my life.

I worked all the time. Every moment I wasn't working, I was home with my family. I got divorced. And now I'm doing it all over again, and I've learned that the key is, I've got to work less.

I wanted to make a point of basing myself at home, being close to my family. I'll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they'll never have to work another day. I'll do whatever it takes to look after them.
