One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings, but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.
When I stop working, I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture, or whatever they do, and go home. For me, it has to be continuous.
I have in my own fashion learned the lesson that life is effort, unremittingly repeated.
There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers' wives.
Work at it night and day.
My dad worked all day. He would get up at five in the morning and didn't stop working until 10 at night, every day the same.
