Tina Fey: Im not a mother witch

8th February 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Tina Fey insists she is not a crazy working mother witch.

The 40-year-old star admits feeling as if her ability to juggle both her work and family life is being constantly scrutinised, and she is terrified of being labelled a workaholic.

The Emmy Award winner is mother to five-year-old daughter Alice with her husband Jeff Richmond, and sometimes feels as if people are looking at her with accusatory eyes because of her busy schedule.

Sometimes I just hand them a juicy red apple Ive poisoned in my working-mother witch cauldron and fly away, she joked. Theres another great movie idea! Baby Versus Work: A hard-working baby looking for love (Kate Hudson) falls for a handsome pile of papers (Hugh Grant). I would play the ghost of a Victorian Poetess who anachronistically tells Kate to go for it.

Tina who stars in US comedy 30 Rock also pokes fun at the double standard for women of a certain age in Hollywood. The actress believes females in the entertainment industry are put under far more scrutiny to play a certain part, while men have an easier time.

I know older men in comedy who can barely feed and clean themselves, and they still work, she wrote in an article for the New Yorker.

The women, though, theyre all crazy. I have a suspicion that the definition of crazy in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no-one wants to f**k her anymore. (C) Cover Media
