My job starts at a quarter to seven in the morning, and you go right through until whatever time is necessary to finish up.
I'm not taking maternity leave from 'Big Brother.' I e-mailed my boss over there this weekend and I said, 'Don't worry. I can still do the show!
I had the luxury of skipping the cabinet meeting to attend my daughter's graduation. So many people don't have the luxury of taking an hour away from the workplace to attend indispensable family commitments. We have to change that dynamic.
Oh yeah, our first tour in Europe they wouldn't give me the time off from work.
We went to Japan and stayed an extra day just to go shopping. New York is one of those places where we never get that. If we're there, we're working.
I can't even get three weeks off to have cosmetic surgery.
I adore my family; they are my joy. However, I am committed to my work. If, on a Saturday morning when I was ostensibly going to be with the children, and something arose at RADA or at UNICEF or at the orphanage or whatever, I would allow the other pressures to take precedent.
I love kids, outings, camping, sports, Legoland, all the Daddy stuff. I love it. I wish I could just do that, but I have to work, too.
A lot of the times, I end up having to do jobs to sort of pay the bills.
Even with flexible time off to vote, it's still difficult for our people to juggle work, polls, childcare, and other responsibilities.
I'm not in the clubs; I'm a homebody. I go out when I feel I have to for work or if there's a special function. You might catch me at the grocery store, but you won't see me out and about in Atlanta.
I can't take responsibility for everyone's employment.
I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.
We have many responsibilities, and one cannot expect the full blessings of a kind Providence if he neglects any major duty. A man has duties to his church, his home, his country, and his profession or job.
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
Brian really kicked back on his own when Amanda was a baby. We had a long talk about it, and he was spending a lot of time in California working there and he didn't really want to spend all his time out there and have his children and his wife on the East Coast.
Production speed is severely slowed down if one works with half-time people who have other obligations as well. This is at least a factor of four; probably it is worse.
I'm proud to be Secretary of Labor. But I'm even prouder of two more important titles: dad and husband. I've been able to be all three. I want all working people, no matter what their jobs are, to be able to meet their obligations both at work and at home.
I usually don't wear makeup, and if I do, it's later in the day if I have to get my act together for work for some reason.
Between the kids, the jobs and everything, no matter what color you are, cardio is probably not on the top of your list.
Work takes me away from my wife, Sue, and my life in Santa Barbara.
I don't get a chance to be home much.
You really do think about it institutionally; this is your job, and to some extent you benefit from having a job to do at a moment like this. You have things that you have to make happen. And you don't have time for the emotional reaction that might otherwise occur if somebody was just sitting there watching these events unfold and had no responsibilities.
When I was a child and teenager I read whenever I had the opportunity, but since then I've found it hard to read as much as I'd like, children, work, and pets all providing powerful incentives to escape into a book and a practical reason why I rarely do so.
When you commit to a WWE contract, you're committing to some serious time away from home.
