RUSSELL: No. I was raised with a very strong work ethic. I’m never out when I’m a teacher. I’ve always gone to work no matter what job I had. My parent raised me that, unless your hair was on fire, go to work, show up. The other thing is that even if you’re having a bad day, I feel that going to work makes you feel better. I mean, Freud said it. He said you need in your life a balance of love and work. And I really believe that those days that I feel kind of lousy, I get up, I go to work, I feel a lot better, a lot better. So, for me, maybe that’s my therapy, going to work.
