Stephen Sondheim Quotes

I'm happy doing what I'm doing, and if you have that kind of attitude then everything else from there on is a bonus.

It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do.

I do what I love every day.

I think a person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave. Work begins when you don't like what you're doing. There's a wise saying: make your hobby your source of income. Then there's no such thing as work, and there's no such thing as getting tired. That's been my own experience. I did just what I wanted to do. It takes a little courage at first, because who the hell wants you to do just what you want to do; they've all got lots of plans for you. But you can make it happen.

If we like what we do, if we always do our best, then we are really enjoying life. We are having fun, we don't get bored, we don't have frustrations.

The best part of getting to do what you like is just doing it. That doesn't have to do with being famous or even successful or even powerful. I see people in life who are just doing a job and seem to be having a good time. And that's the trick.

I'm looking at everything with a clear eye and an attitude of acceptance rather than skepticism. I realized, this isn't a career - this is my life. This is what I do. It doesn't matter what the size of the role is. It matter that you're enjoying yourself. And I'm loving it.

Love what you do or don't do it.

When you love what you do, it pays off, and that's the best reward you could have.

The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of those who don't.

I have my own worries and concerns and frustrations, but I'm doing something I love to do. My wife and kids are in good shape. What is there not to be happy about?

I'm still doing something I love to do.

I sort of cringe when I hear myself say the word 'work.' Getting to do something you love to do never really feels like work.

I love what I do, and when I don't love what I do, I'll make a change.

I feel I am lucky. I am grateful for this life that God has given me. I am happy, as I am getting to do work that I want to do and enjoy doing it.

By nature, I'm a very positive person, and because I'm happy in myself, and in my life, and I've got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations.

The goals are not about the sweet smell of success as much as it's about enjoying a damn day on the movie set... I live in a complete state of grace.

Every day, I genuinely count my blessings. One of the greatest things in life is to do a job you really enjoy.

I learned from my parents that you have to get pleasure out of what you're doing, or don't do it.

I don't care what you do for a living. If you love it, you are a success.

I am doing what I love to do.

My best advice: Fall in love with what you do for a living.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

Success is finding something you love to do, getting paid to do it and finding someone to share it with.

When a man's earning his living doing things he doesn't like, he feels like a slave; when he's doing what he loves, he feels like a prince.
