I never did a day's work in my life. it was all fun.

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

I just like having fun. It's a very good release, rock music, but you know you say that I am a different person on stage and that same thing could be said of anyone going out to do his job. It's my work, and I'm very serious about it, getting it right - when we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don't do it at all.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whisky.

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
