Naomi Watts Quotes
It's unusual to spend even three full hours away from my newborn baby, it's like a piece of my body is back in the hotel room, and it does feel strange. But I love my work, though, it's not just a job for me, punching in my time card. I've always loved what I do, it's what makes me happy and I figure if I'm happy I'll be a good Mum too.

ER had seen so many women who were the sole source of support for their children and often an ill husband, that women working was an important concept for her. However, in 1937 this was a very radical position to take. As with many controversial issues, the president remained silent and let his wife take the heat. For people who were outraged the bad news was that the first lady had taken this radical position; the good news was that the President did not concur. Of course he didn’t oppose either.
