“On one level, nothing's really changed in my life. I still drive my daughter in the car pool on Monday.

“Even when couples share more equitably in the work at home, women do two-thirds of the daily jobs at home, like cooking and cleaning up--jobs that fix them into a rigid routine. Most women cook dinner and most men change the oil in the family car. But dinner needs to be prepared every evening around six o'clock, whereas the car oil needs to be changed every six months, any day around that time, any time that day.... Men thus have more control over when they make their contributions than women do.” MenNeedsTwoHomeJobsWomenShareCarChangedMonthsCoupleSixThirdsCookingPreparedDinnerOilEveningCooksClockContributionRoutineBe PreparedCleaningSix MonthsHouseworkCleaning Up Author:Arlie Russell Hochschild

“The secret of my success is my mother, who was from Dublin. All my relations are in Dublin or in the west, or as I found out, we went to Rostrevor in Northern Ireland to film and I got out, while they changed cars around, and this man said to me: "You know you have cousins in this town? And they're coming down to see you..." And so they did. I'm sorry we didn't go to a lot more places, so that I could find a lot more cousins. So, that was good.

“I haven't done it by myself at all. I've been surrounded by a really, really good crew of all ages.

But the script, of course, is really inspiring and you just have to trust that.
