Interview - How would you word this?

I am being considered for a position that has an unbelievable salary. It's so high that it makes me think this company would expect me to work around the clock, 7 days/week which I don't want. I'd like a good work/life balance.

So how do you say something in a job interview that would help answer what the company's expectations are as far as time? I'm a hard worker and don't want to come off as lazy. But I also don't want to give up a personal life for a lot of money.

I would just ask lots of questions about the schedule, if you are expected to work from home, deadlines, why former person left......put it more on them and less on you, KWIM?

Actually, if you won't take it if they expect you to work long hours, then you should be pretty straightforward and ask about the culture and work/life balance. It is more of an HR question than a hiring manager question.
