I need to feel like the work I'm doing is not necessarily important, but meaningful, at least to me, because otherwise it just becomes a day job. It just becomes factory work and I get really frustrated.

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.

The hardest work in the world is being out of work.

It's a bad day when you don't get the work done that you need to get done or you don't get it done to the satisfaction.

Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.

When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself.

My friends seem to think that an hour and a half effort a day is all they need to bring to the altar to make things work for them. I couldn't do that. I thought that if you didn't work at least as hard as the guy who runs a gas station, then you had no right to hope for achievement. You certainly had to work all day, every day.

Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.

Sometimes when you're putting the work in it just seems so, so hard, and you never know when that work's going to pay off.

I think it's fun to have work that you can relate to, that you can feel like is meaningful.
