It's a life choice to be a girl chef, as it is to be a boy chef. It feels pretty natural to me. It's a full-time, full-scale, full physical job, and a lot of times, it can take the place of kids and family. To be in this career is much more difficult for a woman to have a family, marriage - whatever that means. It's not a 9-5 job.

Anne Burrell

My mum had four kids on her own, so if I had one kid with one nanny and not a full-time job, it would be a joke. And I think the impossible happens when you leave your kids. I've seen so many nannies in the park on their phones, and the kids are running off.

Abbey Clancy

Casting director was a part-time thing, which later became a full-time job because there was a lack of casting directors in our industry and people were looking for professionals to do it.

Abhishek Banerjee

When I was 19 or 20 years old, I wasn't making a living wrestling. I needed a full-time income.

Adam Page

Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.

Adlai Stevenson I

When I was 15 I became a full-time singer in a band. At 18 I made my first record.

Agnetha Faltskog

I have this wonderful schedule where I work full-time and also get to be a full-time mom.

Ainsley Earhardt

I've been writing full-time since 1978.

Alan Dean Foster

I used to be very routine-based and the new thing in my life is not having a clear, full-time existence.

Alastair Campbell

I was in college in Washington, D.C. I did three years full-time. I did all my requirements, and my senior year was really a gut year. And I said, 'Law school will always be there.' I was in no hurry to get right into that.

Alec Baldwin

Only a small rich fringe hates Social Security for disincentivizing 80-year-olds from seeking full-time employment.

Alex Pareene

Although more teams are going full-time professional and there's more money involved, our main incentive is simply to play for the love of the game.

Alex Scott

I will do something, time to time, with motor racing. But I'll never go back, I think, to drive full-time because I've lost that anger, that desire.

Alex Zanardi

I never meant to be a full-time poet: I started out as a gardener, an ideal job for a poet because your head is left free.

Alice Oswald

I never really acted full-time. I certainly had gotten past the point where fame and fortune was something that I was dreaming about or anticipating.

Allison Tolman

It's scary to not know when your next job is coming, and that is a daily fear when you are trying to act full-time.

Allison Tolman

While managing a career and family leaves, some parents feeling guilty and frazzled; others seem to be able to effortlessly balance parenthood with full-time work. Parents who are able to raise well-adjusted children while also maintaining a career make sacrifices to keep the peace.

Amy Morin

The decision to write full-time meant I couldn't afford to buy a house. A friend kindly offered me the use of his apartment in a thirty-six-story building full of newlywed couples in the southern area of Jakarta. I didn't like my working space at first, but the scenery and everything going on outside have worked their magic on me.

Andrea Hirata

Tennis is a full-time job and not just the two hours that people see when we're on the court.

Andy Roddick

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences... everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving - she's better than me.

Angelina Jolie

We probably do not have a large enough industry here to ably support the independent filmmaker to move in and out. Much of the industry is based on full-time jobs here, institutionalised jobs.
