I get to office early at about 8 A.M., and I'm back home by 6 to write.
I'm usually done working by Happy Hour.
I wake about 1 a.m. I'm in the office by 2 a.m. We're on the air at 5.
I certainly do not exist from nine to six, when I am at the office.
My father was a corporate lawyer. He went to work in a suit and tie. He had a secretary. He left the house before seven A.M. His professional life felt generic, like a backdrop, a signifier more than a life: office job.
I'm pretty much a 9-to-5 kind of guy. I usually get to work about 8 in the morning, and I work until 4 or 5, and sometimes I work on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Pretty much I keep the same hours as an accountant or clerk or whatever.
An average working day begins at 8 or 9 am, includes an hour for lunch, and ends at 5 or 6 pm.
I dont work weekends. Weekends are for my kids. And I have dinner at home every night when Im not physically directing a movie - I get home by six. I put the kids to bed and tell them stories and take them to school the next morning. I work basically from 9.30 to 5.30 and Im strict about that.
I wish I could say I write 9-5. It's usually more like 8-6, every day but the weekends.
Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.
If you factor in not just who's doing what at home, but how much more time working fathers are spending on work outside the home, on average they spend two hours more per day outside the home.
I don't want to be known in my life for what I do from 5 to 9 in the mornings.
If I'm just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I'll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.
I don't work late into the night.
I will not serve lunch to anyone in the middle of a workday. I rarely rearrange my furniture or cabinets; once I find a drawer for something, it stays there. I don't garden. And I don't knit.
I do most of my post production in Stockholm, usually at night, so when I get out of the office at 3 or 4 in the morning, I usually walk around the city before I go home - that's my routine.
I almost stopped teaching entirely. The worst thing for me is contact with students. I like universities without students. And I especially hate American students. They think you owe them something. They come to you ... Office hours!
Not once in six years did I make it to the office by 9 on the dot.
If I had to work a 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. job in the public service, I'd freak out.
I usually have a 13-hour workday. But at times, we get lucky when we wind up in 8 or 10 hours.
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.
Everybody notices if you're the last one in in the morning and the first one to go in the evening. Always remember that as an employee.
Office hours are from 12 to 1, with an hour off for lunch.
Unfortunately, teatime in London is when people in Los Angeles arrive in their offices and pick up the phone.
I'll grab coffee with my wife and daughter and then am in the office around 9 or 10. From there, I usually have about 8 hours of meetings.
