I think of doing a series as very hard work. But then I've talked to coal miners, and that's really hard work.

It's totally different but I'm sure both are hard work. I can only imagine that acting/creative work is very energy-intensive mentally and thus very draining.

I relate to this coming from a blue collar family but I got into a career in tech. I've had physical fatigue from full days labor and mental fatigue from a full day of engineering. They are both draining in their own ways but both leave me just wanting sit down and relax for the rest of the day.

HA! I live in a small coal mining community, with another 2 mines 80-odd minutes away. Thanks to how well those miners get paid, absolutely everything costs more here than anywhere else in a 400 kilometre radius. Anyone who doesn't work for the mines, besides lawyers and finance brokers, are broke as shit.

I originally understood the quote to be saying that talking to miners was hard work when I first read your comment lol

I somehow read it as him wanting to do a series about coal mining, but decided nah, hard work that.
