Delegating Quote by Emma Thompson

“The only way you can have it all is by delegating all the running of the home to other people - which I don't ever want to do... So you do it yourself, and it takes time and energy and effort. And if you give it the time, it's profoundly enjoyable.” quote by Emma Thompson — Download Open image
