Tina Fey Looks Pretty in ‘Parade’
Tina Fey, former writer and star of Saturday Night Live and genius behind 30 Rock sits down for an interview in the latest issue of Parade to talk about having it all. When hitting her mid-30s and struggling with the decision about when to have a family, she says, “I think my generation has been slightly tricked in that you’re really encouraged to try to have it all. And sometimes your body will not let you wait as long as you want.”
Her photos are gorgeous!
On how she maintains the TV show and also is still a mom:
“We wrap shooting on a normal day by 7 p.m. Most times, I then bring three or four writers home with me. I’ll put Alice to bed before they come over, then we continue writing until I can no longer stay awake.”
On the pressures of being a working parent:
“I would be lying if I said there were not tears involved at home occasionally — just occasionally. Last spring, my husband was trying to joke around with me. I was saying, ‘Please stop talking. I’m trying to go to sleep,’ and he kept talking. Out of the blue — he still mentions it, that I had the most horrifying look on my face — I just went, ‘Stop it!!!’ and shoved him across the bed. The life of the working parent is constantly saying, ‘This is impossible,’ and then you just keep doing it.”
On professional life as she gets older:
“I think for women especially, you need to have a plan. I need to have some other ways to generate income, so I don’t have to stretch my face or lift the top of my head with surgery or something. I often feel like a complete fool. I’m here laboring over this tiny show so much, and around me people are making money by the fistful. It’s like, ‘Oh, man, how can I turn my personality into a line of crappy products?’ Rachael Ray sells, like, spoons. I could sell pencils.”
