Cynthia Nixon Loves Being Unemployed

Well, I would too if I had millions in the bank that just keep multiplying due to 'Sex and the City' syndication!

Cynthia Nixon says she loves being unemployed. The actress much rather spend time with her two children and partner Christine Marinoni.

“I certainly have more money than I used to. You kind of have to think more strategically. I got offered a million plays this year, any one of them I’d love to do, but they weren’t quite right for ‘my next play.’

“That sounds horrible. On the one hand, you do have many opportunities, but on the other hand, you’re far more constricted and constrained.…So I have long periods of unemployment, which I also enjoy very much. I have a family. I have a partner. I have a home. I love the downtime.”

While she enjoys her free time, the 44-year-old star says she has been taught the importance of working from a young age. The former child star told WWD:

“I never stopped working. I used to do two or even three jobs at once.

“My parents kept reminding me that most child actors do not become adult actors and if they become adult actors, they don’t become employed adult actors. Acting was sort of like a temporary gift.”

That's true! How many times have we seen successful child actors not able to transition?(imnotobsessed)
