I was a teacher before comedy, but it was good because no two days were the same, which this job is too.
My father was a security guard. I was a security guard.
Me and Cate Blanchett have the same job, technically.
In one sense, newspaper editor is an appropriate job for an out-of-work politician; politicians live the news cycle as intensely as editors.
I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer.
Life is the same. It would be the same thing if I were still working at Starbucks, having to deal with a manager, and a shift manager. This is a job.
My husband and I don't worry about each other the way we might if we didn't have similar jobs. I sometimes get an email where he tells me he's heading off on a mission to do terrain avoidance 50 feet above the ground at 500 knots. And I just say, "Okay, have a good flight."
Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.
They have equal weight and you do the same work you'd do if you were playing a dramatic role.
I think that it's not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else's, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it's really not that.
