You see actors who make family work, but it's difficult for any woman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So often actors only mix with actors, which is quite incestuous, and doesn't give them the insight into how other people work.
At times, it seems as if the only women effortlessly balancing their jobs, kids, husbands and homes are the ones on TV.
In a show or a movie, one must work with many people. Many women just don't have the time for it.
Dysfunctional families have sired a number of pretty good actors.
It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.
My sisters both are working mothers. I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn't some heroic thing. That doesn't mean it isn't confusing or difficult - especially that question of how you find a balance.
There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
No woman who works full time and plays by the rules should have to raise her family in poverty.
It's a notion that career-oriented women often neglect their families. But we should cut them some flak; these women are doing everything for the sake of family so that it progresses. I believe when kids see their mothers working hard, they take up responsibilities at home and are far more well-turned out than other children.
As an actor, I'm in such a privileged position because my work is job by job. If something doesn't fit in with family life, there's more flexibility.
