"It's the enjoyment of every step in the process of doing; everything, not only the isolated piece we label art. If accomplishing it is the only goal, all that it takes to reach that goal is too slow, too fatiguing an obstacle to what you want to achieve. If you want to rush the accomplishment, it is an inevitable disappointment. Then you rush to something. The disappointment is reaped over and over again. But if every step is pleasant, then the accomplishment becomes even more because it is nourished by what is going on."
