“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?”
