From the age of 11, I was cleaning floors, washing dishes, making sandwiches and being a cashier. Survival was the name of the game. Life was so hard that I had to struggle to keep up my standards. Under these conditions, I didn't think about science too much.
I try to get as close as I can to cleaning out my inbox every night.
Cleaning out your locker the first week of January is not a whole lot of fun and it always leaves a lousy taste in your mouth.
When I made my Broadway debut, I was still cleaning houses, something I'd done since I went out on my own at 15.
I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.
Of course I was delighted the flight was over, but I still had to worry about cleaning up inside the cabin, I had to worry about the hatch, how to get in the sling, and so on.

You do not get gold stars for cleaning your toilet. In actual life, there is a depressing lack of stickers.

I entered the work force cleaning breast pumps at a pharmacy! It was a part-time gig while I was at school... no interview required.
