“We'd like to be painters, we'd like to be poets

We'd like to be writers, but as everybody knows we can't earn any money that way

What do you want to do?

When we finally got down to something which the individual says he really wants to do

I will say to him, "You do that"

And uh, "Forget the money"

If you say that getting the money is the most important thing

You will spend your life completely wasting your time

You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living

That is to go on doing things you don't like doing, which is stupid

It is absolutely stupid

Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing

Than a long life spent in a miserable way

And after all, if you do really like what you're doing, it doesn't matter what it is

Somebody is interested in everything

Anything you can be interested in, you'll find others will

But it's absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like

And to teach our children to follow in the same track

See, what we are doing, is we're bringing up children and educating them

To live the same sort of lives we're living

In order that they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life

By bringing up their children to bring up their children to do the same thing

So it's all retch, and no vomit, it never gets there

Therefore, it's so important to consider this question

What do I desire?”
