News, “I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day, and that part of it is very difficult.

My answer was this : moving picture work take one aside from home base and requires 12 - 14 hour a day , making it difficult to be the one to make the kids their dejeuner , drive them to school , and put them to bed . So I have found it well-situated on my menage life to make a picture show the elision , and my 9 - 5 job the formula . This somehow was taken to mean I had said a 9 - 5 line is easy , and a lot of heat was thrown my way of life , especially by other working mothers who somehow used my out - of - context quote as an opportunity to express feeling ( perhaps projected ) on the subject .
