She further speaks her mind about the philosophy of life like this: "Lance is fully supportive of my work but he still deserves to have a wife. I can’t just say, 'Sorry, darling, I’m off to this party,’ or 'I'm going to do a play in Wellington for three months.' That's not what a relationship is all about. Lance provides a lifestyle that allows me to do the job I do. I don't take that for granted".
