If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
If work came along I liked, I would do it. If it interfered with home life for too long or took me away, I wouldn't.
For me, work is one thing, and my life is another.
I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate. My life has changed so dramatically over the last number of years, especially having a family now. My priorities have shifted.
I just want to make sure I have a sense of balance between work and life, because work is my life and the lines can get really blurry.
I've never made a conscious decision to choose work over other considerations.
So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.
My life is basically my work.
My professional life shouldn't be an influence on whether I spend time at home. My career is my whole life's blood. It's my calling.
You have one life, and it can't be just about work because you lose out on so many amazing years of your life if you just work, work, and work.
Family and personal life always come first and career second.
I don't believe in work-life balance. I think it's more about work-life integration because, increasingly, so much time of ours is spent doing work, so I've always wanted to dedicate my work life to having a social impact.
Europeans still believe that working is for living. Americans often have that the other way around.
