"I know that in order to be considered successful, you're supposed to do two or three movies a year. I only work once every year-and-a-half, sometimes two years. I have children to raise"

This quote by Meg Tilly speaks with the idea that success is typically measured by just how much one works. Tilly is suggesting that she is not considered effective by this measure, as she only works once every year-and-a-half, or in some cases two years. This is likely due to her having kids to raise, which is a top priority for her. She is suggesting that she is unable to work as much as she would like, and that this is avoiding her from being thought about effective. This quote highlights the importance of understanding success in various ways, and that it is not always determined by how much one works. It also talks to the value of prioritizing household and other dedications, which this ought to not be viewed as an obstacle to success.
