Quote by Alan Cumming

My feeling about work is it's much more about the experience of doing it than the end product. Sometimes things that are really great and make lots of money are miserable to make, and vice versa.

My feeling about work is it's much more about the experience

Summary

This quote is emphasizing the importance of the work experience itself rather than solely focusing on the end result or monetary gain. It suggests that a fulfilling work experience is not solely determined by the financial success or greatness of the final outcome. Work that may generate substantial profits could still be an unhappy or unpleasant process, while work that may not appear significant or lucrative on the surface can provide a meaningful and rewarding experience. Ultimately, the quote encourages individuals to value the journey and enjoyment derived from their work, rather than solely focusing on the end product or financial success.
