Billy Porter Quotes

I really enjoy my time off. If I'm going to go to work, it has to be something I really believe in, or else it's totally tedious.

If you don't like or care about your job, what's the big deal?

You got to like your work. You have got to like what you are doing, you have got to be doing something worthwhile so you can like it - because it is worthwhile, that it makes a difference, don't you see?

I can see my work as a job. I do it for money. I likely already look forward to the weekend on Thursdays. And I probably will need a hobby as a leveling mechanism. In a career, I'm definitely more engaged. But at the same time, there will be periods when I think, 'Is all that really hard work really worth my while?'

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.

In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.

I don't see the point in working just to be working.

I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.

I think it's fun to have work that you can relate to, that you can feel like is meaningful.

I have to have a creative role; otherwise, I simply wouldn't come into work.

After all, a job isn't worth doing unless you enjoy it.

You know, I think I'm more of a micro-person, so to me, the context and the framework of trying to do what you love and feel passionate about, in supporting your family in that way, is the most important thing to me.

In the end, I need to be fulfilled in my work - that's more important than the money.

The most rewarding thing is having a job that you love. It's not a luxury that everyone in this world enjoys.

You have to love your job.

Finding meaning in your work is your responsibility. Any job can be better when you actively work to find meaning in the work.

I'd be in the wrong job if I had to stand in front of the mirror and push myself to go to work every day.

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

Work is really wrapped up with identity. Work is not just money for most people.

The day we struggle to enjoy what we do and just get the gig over with we'll quit.

I joke that I stick with the job because it covers my insurance, but the reality is that my career has always been very important to me.

Many people are starting to realize that they work a lot and that working on stuff they believe in (and making things happen) is much more satisfying then just getting a paycheck and waiting to get fired (or die).

Don't make career choices on short-term financial gain. Job satisfaction and career enjoyment are far more important.

Everybody should get to make a living with their passion.

I would pay to do what I do if I had to.
