There's great stuff out there, but I prefer doing a TV show, going to work every day with the same people, and a lot of stuff is not being shot in Los Angeles and I don't really want to do that because my loved ones are here.
I don't want to miss out on my grandchildren and my daughter, and doing Broadway would do just that.
It's hard for anybody who works a lot and has children. But I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I've always been interested in local politics. I never rule anything out, but I have a very full life right now, with a very young daughter. I have a lot that I want to do still with my career... I can't imagine that would be a possibility for a long time.
Balancing trying to be an athlete trying to get ready for WrestleMania, training twice a day, to everything you do at the office to remembering that you have a wife and kids and everything else - it's challenging, but you just make it happen. In some ways, it's no different than anyone else's life.
As a mother, I always have something better to be doing. I love work still, but I'm less tolerant of my time being wasted.
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.
I've got young kids, so it suits me to do a job which keeps me in town right now.
I would have liked having children to some degree, but frankly I haven't got the time to take the kids to the goddamn ballgame.
There's been times I've been paralyzed by guilt when I've had to work crazy hours or miss a parent-teacher interview.
I got a family I got to answer to. I got kids... my older parents and my preachers and everybody.
Maybe when my kids are grown up, I can go back to Broadway. It would be great someday, I suppose.
I don't strive for balance. I just try to get through my to-do list, with my kids' homework being at the top of it, and then try to prepare for the next audition or whatever scene I'm shooting next. Balance.
I am busy right now with my family, let alone all my other projects. It's an opportunity if it presents itself.
It wasn't until I got my first son that I wasn't really able to play video games because when you have a child at home, there are infinite other things you should be doing.
In mid-career, I was at one and the same time the rabbi of a major congregation, writing books, and teaching at Columbia. I didn't spend enough time with my children. Now, when I get an all-important call, I sometimes say that I'm having lunch with my granddaughter. And I do not apologize
I have two kids, a career, and a man that takes a lot of my attention and time.
Middle age is when you're faced with two temptations and you choose the one that will get you home by nine o'clock.
I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.
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.
Well there's nobody who has a more supportive husband than I do, and he has a business that he runs, and it's his own business, so he has work to do, my kids have school to do, I mean, people have - there are other things in life besides politics.
I just look for interesting supporting-biggish supporting parts, and try to do one a year, and that's my limit. Some women can do it and that's fantastic, but I can't. You make choices as a wife and mother, don't you? You can't have it all. I don't care what it looks like.
Again, with two small children it's incredibly hard to commit yourself to anything because you're just getting interested in it and someone comes along and goes I want Thomas The Tank Engine on, and screams the place down until you put it on.
Every trip I made to Atlanta was crucial because it was so hard to get away from family and church duties.
If the baby is sick, you won't find me showing up to play my gigs. If I have a contract, there is going to be a clause in that contract saying that if the baby is sick I will not appear.
