I don't own a helicopter because I want someone to bring me places quickly. I own it because it's an incredible machine that I like to fly and learn about. I like the complexity of it.
Golf is just for fun. I have no time to be a pro golfer, not even after F1. I think it's too late and I'm too old to learn now. Golf is just a hobby and maybe I can improve a little bit more.
After everyone's gone to bed, I still find myself sitting at the computer writing songs. It's a nice reminder that this has always been a kind of hobby that I get on with because I really love it.
I studied piano for many years, and I still play. I'm a complete amateur, and I wouldn't consider myself very good at all, but I enjoy it.
It started as a hobby when I was a kid, and I'm finishing as a hobby.
To me, 'Auto Music' wasn't work. It was in-between work.
I could fill an entire second life with working on my prints.
I fell into this business by accident. It wasn't something I ever aspired to be: an actress. It just happened. It has evolved into an insane passion... a creative outlet. But nothing more. It's my hobby... one of the ways I express myself as an artist. And the day it becomes a job... a career... I will quit...
I am an amateur and I intend to stay that way for the rest of my life.
Back home, playing music is never anything you imagine you can do for a living. It's what you do after work.
I think people face that in any artistic field, this idea of: oh, I could do that, if I had the time.
I think that's my strength, that I am an amateur gardener who loves gardening. I've read about it, I've written about it, I've done it all my life but at heart, I'm just a passionate amateur gardener.
I like to make music because it's fun to do and it makes me feel good, but I have no desire to be a huge pop singer or anything like that. I just like to make it.
I've never put myself in the mindset that I'm actually any good at taking pictures, I just love to shoot things that catch my eye, whether it's landscapes or just my kids.
I'm still not really planning on pursuing a music career. I like to make music because it's fun to do and it makes me feel good, but I have no desire to be a huge pop singer or anything like that. I just like to make it.
I just love music - by no stretch of the imagination am I professionally competent.
I love singing. I can't say it sounds good; it's just something I like doing.
I mean, I really, really love playing solo. Definitely, it's like a labor of love, it's not a huge career. It's not that successful, but it's something I love so much that I'll do it regardless.
Acting was just a hobby; I never needed butter from it.
I have a collection of ukuleles. I meant to graduate to the guitar, but I never did.
I drive something different every day. It's just my hobby.
I'm not putting down anyone that does look at their work in that way, but for me I am a hardcore amateur.
