"“I think actually admitting that there is no work-life balance is the first step to getting there in a way because it's just not possible,” Johansson-best known for her role as Black Widow in the Marvel franchise- told CBS Sunday Morning."
"“I've learned to be more kind to myself in that way. You can't do all of these things all the time,” Johansson said. “There's just like, 'Is it good enough?'”"
"“Somebody once told me, 'If you're successful as a parent like 75% of the time, that's good-if you're doing 75% of it like right, then you're winning, which is probably true," Johansson said."
"Johansson was the fourth-highest paid actor in 2025, behind Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise, and Mark Wahlberg, according to . Her net worth is about $165 million, estimates Celebrity Net Worth. But growing up in Manhattan in a family of six, she has said money was often tight during her childhood."
Work-life balance is described as impossible, with deficits appearing either at work or at home. Acceptance grows over time, along with self-kindness and a shift toward evaluating whether efforts are “good enough.” Success evolves as more responsibilities are taken on, including launching a skincare brand and raising two children while balancing marriage. Parenting is framed as doing what is right even when it does not bring maximum approval. A benchmark of being successful about 75% of the time is presented as sufficient when that time is handled correctly. Early financial hardship is recalled, including reliance on welfare and food stamps during childhood, followed by a rise to major stardom through acting roles and major film franchises.
