When your hobbies get in the way of your work - that's OK but when your hobbies get in the way of themselves... well.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.

I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.

You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough.

The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

My work is like my vacation, so in a way every day is like Saturday.

Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.

My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.

Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.

In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.
