My worst day is away from the office, when I'm traveling and not with the Britelings.
At the end of the day I separate things; my life is my life and my work is my work.
My weekends start at about 4 P.M. on Friday afternoon, when I let go of work and leave my colleagues to crawl through the rest of the day in our New York offices.
This is what I do for a living. It's not who I am as a human being.
There is not a lot of separation between work and home life.
There needs to be a demarcation between personal and professional lives.
I'm constantly taking calls and responding to e-mails at home, and I find it best to have that little work space. And then when you're not at that little space, it's not work anymore.
For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal.
Golf's my job; it's not my life. It's something I've enjoyed, but I also like to get away from the golf course.
I don't attend parties. After the day's shoot, I go home and spend time with my family. I never take my work home, and neither do I involve my family in work.
I never take my work home with me, because when there is a baby in the bath at home, and you rush back for bath-time, as soon as you get through the door, you know that work is work and home is home.
Don't use your bedroom for work, unless you're a prostitute.
I have a very clear separation between my life and my work.
I've got a clear line between work and real life.
I will tell my best friends who I'm attracted to, but I'm not going to talk about it in a newspaper... It has nothing to do with my work.
I grew up understanding the pros and cons of what you're getting into and knowing what comes with your job. I like to keep my private life private, and then work is work. I feel so far I've had a really good balance with that.
Earlier in life, I put family in front of faith. I've fixed that. But I always tried to keep work fourth on the list. I was proud when [my wife] Nellie told an interviewer, 'I never could tell whether John had a good practice or a bad practice, because he never brought it home'
Back in early 1983, my dad was tasked with keeping unions from organizing in his company's distribution centers. His work pulled him away from home for months on end.
If I'm in the car after a bad game, I may think about ways I need to improve. But the second I reach home, the game's over. Work doesn't come inside with me. Same thing in reverse - I don't bring my personal life into the ballpark. Learning to keep it all separate has made life easier.
The only time I go on the set is when I have a cameo to do in the picture. I go to the set and I do my little cameo and I meet all the people. It's a great way to spend the day. And then I go back to my own world.
You have your real life and then you have your work.
When you’re out of office, you’re out of office.
The moment I am off the field, it's my personal time.
Antiques Roadshow' was the first job I had taken since my children were born that took me away from them consistently over a period of time. That was a big adjustment for all of us.
I never want to be away from you again, except at work, in the restroom or when one of us is at a movie the other does not want to see.
