Enjoyment and Fun in Work

The only way to do a lot of work is to make it fun.

You gotta know when to be lazy. Done correctly, it's an art form that benefits everyone.

A lot of people thought my work was very tedious, and it can be if you look at it from that point of view, but I never looked upon it as tedious.

If I can help them, great. You don't need a crystal ball to see what they're building.

Welcome to real spy work. Mostly tedious, occasionally exhilarating.

The key is to do your own work.

I’m enjoying the work while I get it right now.

You're going to spend a long time with the stuff you work on; you might as well like it.

Effort and Hard Work

This became a credo of mine...attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

I had to spend countless hours, above and beyond the basic time, to try and perfect the fundamentals.

Something I've learned is that it actually takes a lot of work to make something great.

It's a big task. I'm aware of the enormity of this, ... But I also think that I'm up to the task.

It is labor intensive and detail intensive. You've got to put your heart and soul into it.

There's a lot of work to be done. It's up to you.

I’m going to outwork you. Simple as that.

I attempt an arduous task; but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement.

Learning and Improvement

As soon as we realize that a large effort is comprised of many small steps, we have provided ourselves with a different lens through which the work effort can be viewed.

It's not getting it right the first time--it's learning to do it right and then not getting lazy.

But now you know the specific cause of your difficulty with [certain tasks] and can explore ways around the overarousal they create. So there's really very little that you can't do if you find a way to do it in your own style.

I had to spend countless hours, above and beyond the basic time, to try and perfect the fundamentals.

So, the result though is by the time I've got something, it's been worked over so many times that although I do make changes as the end, often by the time I've gotten it, it's pretty much completed.

I have a tendency to do the epic kind of long shot and put in everything that you need to know. And that's by design; that's the kind of approach I take to it.

I've tried a few times to depart from what I know I can do, and I've failed. I've tried to work outside the studio, but it introduces too many variables that I can't control. I'm really quite narrow, you know.

I’ve been working on my finishing for quite some time. It’s just a question of paying attention to the minor details.

I cannot do everything right, I need to have the scope to make errors. This is normal, as in real life.

Task Management and Efficiency

You may want your work to be perfect, in other words; I just want mine to be finished.

Working on it.

Don't worry, I know almost exactly what I'm doing.

So I get it worked out beforehand so I can be really efficient in the studio.

It's a lot of time and effort - what can I tell you?

Try three minutes. Give your task three minutes of your time.

You've got to really check on what you're doing: check and recheck it seven other times to be prepared. Sometimes, people get carried away with the artistic-ness of the endeavor and don't quite have their game face on when the time comes. It's always a pretty costly mistake.

If you want to encourage some activity, make it easy.

First off, you always gotta get your work done.

Preparation and Planning

At some level, obviously, I have to authorize everything,

You have to lay the groundwork ahead of time. If you haven't done that, do it now.

Understand from top to bottom what the effort requires.

You have to develop your whole game to completion.

It's something I've been working on since Day 1 here,

Pinner. “‘Thank you very much,’ said he; ‘I fear that I underrated the difficulty of the task. This list will be of very material assistance to me.’ “‘It took some time,’ said I.

You've got to really check on what you're doing: check and recheck it seven other times to be prepared. Sometimes, people get carried away with the artistic-ness of the endeavor and don't quite have their game face on when the time comes. It's always a pretty costly mistake.

Creativity and Innovation

All you have already done, achieved and opened it is not a potential

Don't think too much. There'll be time to think later. Analysis won't help. You're chiseling now. You're passing your hands over the wood. Now the page is no longer blank. There's something there. It isn't your business yet to know whether it's going to be prize-worthy someday, or whether it will gather dust in a drawer. Now you've carved the tree. You've chiseled the marbled. You've begun.

reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.

The way that I work is very specific, very thorough, and the process has to be totally clear.

So that's the challenge, you have a big technical aspect of what you're doing whilst you're creatively trying to improvise.

I suspect the base that I'm working from is not particularly one of inquiry, but of memory of what I did last time.

My methodology is not knowing what I’m doing and making that work for me.

Confidence and Self-belief

I have what it takes to get the work done.

I may not know everything, but I'm working on it.

The only way to do great work is to just do it!

It's a big task. I'm aware of the enormity of this, ... But I also think that I'm up to the task.

I realize that much will be asked of me, yet I am resolved to accept it as a great and splendid task.

I’m going to outwork you. Simple as that.

Don’t worry, I know almost exactly what I’m doing.

Challenges and Difficulties

I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. As hard as I was wanting to try, there's not a lot you can do when you're just not getting into the points,

At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.

I have just gone over my comet computations again, and it is humiliating to perceive how very little more I know than I did seven years ago when I first did this kind of work.

I attempt an arduous task but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement

I'm trying to work on it - not cheating, stopping in the 'D' zone, all that kind of stuff.

I attempt an arduous task; but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement.

Laziness and Procrastination

I'm lazy, I like to do it right the first time.

Or you could go pick it up yourself. We don't want to be too lazy.

I'm really lazy!

I am a very lazy person.

I'm incredibly lazy!

I'm kind of lazy.
