Personally, I don't take holidays; I go on trips. My idea of relaxing is taking a trip that isn't commissioned. I'll work just as hard, but without that nagging pressure of fulfilling a commission. Now that's what I call a holiday.
Good jobs look a lot like kids playing and adults working.
Voiceover is probably the toughest of all the markets to get into. Everybody wants to do it because it's again three to five hours work. You can roll in there with your bedroom slippers and robe on if you wanted to. And it's fun.
I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.
I think I worked an average of about 10 minutes a day [in Big Bang Theory series]. It took longer to get to the studio than I actually worked. So I regard the driving there as the actual job. The work itself was just fun.
I like to work. I enjoy once a year, doing a film.
I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store.
So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.
I've never worked a day in my life.
It always makes me laugh to think that I get to sit around and chat with people like Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi and get paid for it.
It is a sober truth that people who live only to amuse themselves work harder at the task than most people do in earning their daily bread.
Going to the golf course every day for work? That's a good job.
When you're working with your friends, it doesn't feel like it's work.
It's fun to say football is my job.
I'm having a lot more fun living life. My new motto is "plerking" - I play and work at the same time.
There's ways to amuse yourself while doing things and thats how I look at efficency.
At the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It's a gift.
I've always wanted to do an adult cartoon, because I want a job where you can just drive up in your pajamas, have a cup of tea and not even get dressed, and you've gone to work for the day. What a great gig!
I like animation: you can go to work in your pyjamas.
The way I look at it, people pay me to travel. Once we get to the stage, that part is easy.
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
It does not seem to be true that work necessarily needs to be unpleasant. It may always have to be hard, or at least harder than doing nothing at all. But there is ample evidence that work can be enjoyable, and that indeed, it is often the most enjoyable part of life.
The 'Aladdin' thing - that's not work; that's just fun. Three days in the recording studio going mad, then the animators do all the work. Not a bad way to cash a large check, my friend.
That business of relaxation, which is so terribly modern today, is all good and well, but my work interests me so much, and is so varied, that many times it seems relaxing when I go from one aspect to another.
Work is both my living and my pleasure.
