There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.

Now my complaint is there are only 18 hours to work in a day.

My dad said to me, 'Work hard and be patient.' It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.

Normally, I work 18 hours a day.

When I work, it can be a 16-hour day.

A doctor must work eighteen hours a day and seven days a week. If you cannot console yourself to this, get out of the profession.

You see, my mother was a district nurse until she died when I was 14, and we used to move from time to time because of her work.

I usually work 16-hour days.

It is not the hours we put in on the job, it is what we put into the hours that counts.

Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.
