    I consider myself fortunate to make what I make but also get to balance it by walking my kids to school in the morning, picking them up in the afternoon, making dinners, and just be around. If I wanted, I could take more high-profile work and be out of the house and make double what I make now, but the expense of not seeing my kids and not being a part of their lives is not worth it to me. When they’re teenagers and want nothing to do with me because I’m embarrassing, then we will see, but for now, I am more value to them being around.
