W: Michael, do you go out to work?
M: (23) Not regularly. I used to have a job in a publishing company, but I decided it wasn’t really what I wanted to do and what I wanted to do wouldn’t earn me much money, so I gave up working, and luckily I had a private income from my family to support me and now I do the things I want to do. Some of them get paid like lecturing and teaching, and others don’t.
W: What are the advantages of not having to go to work from nine till five?
M: (24) There’re two advantages really. One is that if you feel tired you don’t have to get up, and the other is that you can spend your time doing things you want to do rather than being forced to do the same thing all the time.
W: But surely that’s in a sense very self-indulgent and very lucky because most of us have to go out and earn our livings. Do you feel justified in having this privileged position?
M: Yes. (25)I do things which I think are useful to people and the community and which I enjoy doing.
W: Does your wife think that in order to lead a balanced life, people need some form of work?
M: Yes, she does. She thinks it’s equally important that their attitude towards work should be positive and whatever work one is actually doing can become creative. Even when she cooks a meal, she thinks she is creating, in her own way, something which is very necessary to our family.
