Because I have always felt privileged. I have been able to do what I love, I have always been treated well, I have always been paid well so that's why. I feel that I owe something; that I need to return something. It's always been a great pleasure but nevertheless I do feel this responsibility.

Pavel Nedved

I feel very privileged to get to read and write and not to have to do things that I don't like, and I don't want to give that up. Everything else is just a bonus and often a distraction from the writing, reading, and traveling that gives me the most pleasure.

Pankaj Mishra

I enjoy domestic life. Cooking gives me great pleasure, especially if I can chop vegetables slowly and think about what I'm doing and dream a little about this and that.

Siri Hustvedt

I enjoy doing the research of nonfiction; that gives me some pleasure, being a detective again.

Joseph Wambaugh

It's great to get paid for what you love doing most. To enjoy your work. And to follow that. It's important.

Dennis Quaid

As an actor, I feel, I should not choose a film just to help get great box office results but one that challenges me as an actor and gives me the pleasure of playing a certain role.

Rakshit Shetty

Doing nothing gives me great pleasure. And believe me, I succeed wonderfully in it.

Steven Morrissey

I still enjoy what I'm doing, which is building businesses. I don't play golf. I don't have any particular passion apart from my business and my family, and that gives me all the pleasure that I want.

Christoffel Wiese

It's so insane to me that this is my actual job, that I get to come to set and do what I enjoy doing and get paid for it.

Morgan Saylor

I think I enjoy working obviously as a lead, but also you know I feel I'm also a character actor as well, so I enjoy approaching various projects in all sort of capacities. Any film I have been able to do I feel very fortunate to have been a part of.

Chiwetel Ejiofor

I've hit a point where my big luxury is getting to work on the things I want to work on. That's my hobby. It's being able to do a movie like 'Chef,' where you don't get paid, where you get paid scale, but you get to do exactly the movie you want to do. To me, that's worth more to me than whatever money I would have gotten paid.

Jon Favreau

If I'm in a relationship, I'm 1,000% in it. I love doing things for them and surprising them. And that's just something I thoroughly enjoy and it gives me a lot of pleasure. I just haven't found that right girl yet.

Josh Henderson

I'm not the "not-working" type. I derive pleasure from my work. Work gives me relaxation too. Every moment I am thinking of something new: making a new plan, new ways to work. In the same way that a scientist draws pleasure from long hours in the laboratory, I draw pleasure in governance, in doing new things and bringing people together. That pleasure is sufficient for me.
