[Anderson understands that Evelyn runs the risk of seeming a little too saintly.] That's why the character of Tuff is such a great sounding board, because she's the one who says, `How can you bear it?' ... And Evelyn Ryan, being who she was, could find satisfaction in any situation that she was living in. She found the magic, and the profundity, in the act of raising children. And, oh man, I couldn't do that. |
Defiance ... I would wager she just happens to have gotten those period roles because it was a turning point for women taking place in that period. |
I don't care what people on the outside are thinking, as long as we're working together as a team, hopefully our hard work will pay off and the results will speak for themselves. |
I think the reason she's done so many of these films is because the '50s is such a rich era for describing the journey of a woman, |
I've seen some of these children come right along and do really well. I have one girl who is 7, and she is very eager, and her mother is very supportive. |
If your manager says no, you need to ask what you need to do to improve in order to go off-site. You have to be the initiator, take the lead and ask the questions. It will only show you are taking it seriously. |
In an odd way, all the appliances that the advertisers put out there, and said, `Buy this brand-new stove!', `Buy the fridge!' `Make Jell-O!', all that horrible nutrition that came up because of instant pudding, Jell-O, fish sticks, TV dinners, all of that that I had before dismissed as the death of our culture -- I realized that housewives wanted these things, because they wanted time back, ... A washing machine gave them time to do something else. It gave them time to read a book. ... A woman didn't want to cook all day. These things that were sold to Americans were actually a gift, in a very strange way. I really enjoyed having to blow that notion out of my head. |
It can be a difficult pitch, and I think that's because many times the (would-be) telecommuter comes at it from the perspective of how it's going to be an advantage to them, ... You should always think like a manager. |

It's a bit of a trade-off. It's exciting to see the new ruins and get that information, but at the same time, fire can destroy these sites. |
It's not for everyone, ... Full-time telecommuting can be like falling off a cliff for some people. They need the social interaction of an office environment. |
Never approach it from a permanent basis. Tell them you'd like to try it for three months. Tell them they can evaluate you at the beginning, once in the middle and once at the end, to see how it's working in terms of productivity. Then tell them you'll sit down and reevaluate it at the end of the trial period. |
Steven Ross has concurred that this plan will meet the Office of Human Rights' concern and will disperse the (English as a Second Language) population across the district. |
The biggest concern among employers is figuring out how they'll know if you're productive. |
The movie is really walking a very delicate line. Because I don't want to look like I'm condoning staying in a marriage like that. And I'm not saying that it's right that women at the time had no choice but to stay in the home and raise kids, but at the same time, I wanted to celebrate the fact that she was a deeply intelligent, insightful, strong woman who found joy in that situation. |
