The best part about my job is that I'm pampered and always treated like a Barbie doll on the sets. But the worst part is that I have to work daily without many breaks.
I don't give my employees hours - some of them come in at 7 A.M., some at 10 A.M., some stay until 6 P.M. or midnight. They have that freedom to come and go as they wish, although they all put in more hours than your 9 to 5.
In today's gig economy, where jobs have been replaced by 'portfolios of projects,' most people find themselves doing more things less well for two-thirds of the money.
The rhythm of my career has always been very static, staccato and then silent, and then a lot of work, and then none.
Luckily, filmmaking is not a nine-to-five job.
I work hard, but in spurts.
Work-life balance for founders doesn't look like work-life balance for everyone else. Starting a company isn't a nine-to-six job - or a nine-to-nine job, or a nine-to-midnight job.
This profession has no rhythm to it - you're either busy enough to fall down, or nothing's happening!
It is the nature of the business that you work unsociable, unpredictable hours and can get called away at a moment's notice to somewhere on the other side of the world. This can put a strain on home and personal life.
I think, anyone in the arts, you're self-employed; it's so difficult.
The hardest part is the nature of working in film and television; the hours are very tough.
