"I believe in maniacs. I believe in type As. I believe that you've got to love your work so much that it is all you want to do. I believe you must betray your mistress for your work, you betray your wife for your work; I believe that she must betray you for her work. I believe that work is the one thing in the world that never betrays you, that lasts. If I were going to be a politician, if I were going to be a scientist, I would do it every day. I wouldn't wait for Monday. I don't believe in weekends. If you're headed for a life that's only involved with making money and you hope for satisfaction somewhere else, you're headed for a lot of trouble. And whatever replaces vodka when you're 45 is what you're going to be doing."
Richard Avedon, 1988.
I do admire Richard Avedon's dedication to work. I do. I think it's admirable and probably the key to success.
But I like weekends.
