I'm just, you know, kind of happy in the doing of things. Even just having a great cup of coffee is happiness. Getting an idea, or realizing an idea. Working on a painting or working on a piece of sculpture. Working on a film. One thing I noticed is that many of us, we do what we call work for a goal. For a result. And in the doing, it's not that much happiness. And yet that's our life going by. If you're transcending every day, building up that happiness, it eventually comes to: it doesn't matter what your work is. You just get happy in the work. You get happy in the little things and the big things. And if the result isn't what you dreamed of, it doesn't kill you, if you enjoyed the doing of it. It's important that we enjoy the doing of our life.

— David Lynch in an interview with GQ
