Emily Blunt Quotes

I just want to do stuff that gives me work satisfaction.

I only take on roles that I'm passionate about. Life is too short to do things that you're not happy with.

When you're doing the work you're meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus, regardless of what you're getting paid.

The majority of people consider their work a means to an end. People who work for money only come to the end faster than people who are involved in their life’s purpose every day.

I think a lot of times it's not money that's the primary motivation factor; it's the passion for your job and the professional and personal satisfaction that you get out of doing what you do that motivates you.

I'm just looking for projects I enjoy.

I've hit a point where my big luxury is getting to work on the things I want to work on. That's my hobby. It's being able to do a movie like 'Chef,' where you don't get paid, where you get paid scale, but you get to do exactly the movie you want to do. To me, that's worth more to me than whatever money I would have gotten paid.

Imagine choosing a job not on money or even on career advancement, but as part of a life worth living.

I believe that we have been doing this not primarily to achieve riches or even honour, but rather because we were interested in the work, enjoyed doing it and felt very strongly that it was worthwhile.

I've learned to take jobs as an actress that is meaningful to me because I've never taken a job for the money.

I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.

I don't really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesn't really matter to me at all.

To do work that's not going to be fulfilling doesn't make sense.

One of my great breaks is I have only done work I wanted to do.

There's a lot of jobs that you can do that you can be miserable at. Making movies should not be one of them.

I feel I have been a part of some very wonderful films, and I have had it in mind when I was on the set, every day, that what I am doing has meaning.

Creative satisfaction is highly underrated. When you don't have it, the money doesn't spend nearly as well.

You must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin. And the other is, you must not be ashamed of your work, and think it would be more honorable to you to be doing something else. You must have a pride in your own work and in learning to do it well.

For me, work is so satisfying and it's giving me so much, it's nurturing me so much, that I think it sort of makes up for the sleep depravation.

We [actors] are so lucky to do jobs that fulfill us and make us happy. We don't go to work thinking okay, we're working to put food in the fridge. We are doing that too, but we're working because we love what we do.

In the long run, doing work that's important leads to more happiness than doing work that's merely profitable.

But everything that I did starting out, every job that I had, I haven't regretted any of them. They've all been informative, interesting in one way or another. With a career, I think there's this idea that you're just trying to get somewhere. It's like, "Oh, okay, let's keep going, because if I do this, I can get this, I get this, this." It wasn't that way. I did what I wanted to do when it was in front of me, and I'm trying to continue to do that.

If you don't like what you're doing, it's unlikely anyone else will either, so be sure you are happy with your own work first.
