Working for several years as a waitress, you learn really quickly a couple of default scripts, so you know exactly what the interaction is going to be when the person sits down at the table.
When you look at Clark Kent when he's working at the Daily Planet, he's a reporter. He doesn't fly through the air in his glasses and his suit.
In high school, I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch, and once I graduated from business school at USC, I started a company with my partner and had a nine-to-seven job.
I get up in the morning, get to the office, and write until about six o'clock in the evening.
The difference between the big budget films I've done is the length of time. But in terms of the day-to-day, you're still going on to set, you're getting into character, and you're going and doing your job, so there's absolutely no difference. It's just the structure around it and the length of time. But in terms of budget and money, it doesn't really manifest itself.
I feel like if you're stuck doing the same thing your whole career you've got to be doing something wrong. Unless you're getting great results from it or you're just comfortable in that spot.
Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.
I do my days at the station and then get my training in.
A lot of times in our jobs, we go day-to-day, we're in a routine, we sometimes become robots.
I'm used to doing my jobs like a couple of photo shoots a month and a bit of presenting here and there, but the majority of my days are with the baby.
Many people have a profession or a job - most people do, I should think. And they do it. And that's what I did.
In my normal life, I am a private person doing a proper job.
As a professional, you have a routine.
I'm slightly unsure as to what my goal is. I just keep doing jobs.
In theory, I work an eight-hour day and a five-day week which means I can socialise with my pals who mostly have normal jobs like teaching and computer programming.
I'm a hard-working girl. I go to the office. I work a normal 9 to 5 job most days.
I suppose I will go on selling newspapers until at last will come the late night final.
Enrichment happened to be my favorite time of day in the Children's Zoo, since it offered relief from the security-guard-esque standing around that makes up most of a zookeeper's day.
For me, it's my work - I have a job, and that job happens to be with insanely talented actors. At this stage, it's normal to me. But when I meet new people, I realise, 'Oh, yeah, it's actually really strange. I have a very unique hobby.'
Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.
With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening's show, and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.
You can become really pigeon-holed in this industry.
I really love showing up at work at 10 A.M., trying to make it funny until 3 P.M., and then going home. It's like comedy bankers' hours.
All individuals are different. Some of us just wouldn't be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job and being happy.
A typical day in the Senate requires several trips to the Senate floor and back, although the journey is usually underground so that on some days, once I arrive at work, I never see the sun.
