About this Quote

In this quote, Gregory Hines expresses his fascination with the world of motion pictures and the way of life that features it. He points out the appeal of working intensely for a couple of months on a movie job, and then having a break for a couple of months before starting the process all over once again. This highlights the cyclical nature of the film industry, where actors and filmmakers pour their heart and soul into a task for a limited period of time, and then have a period of rest and renewal before diving into the next task. Hines' words likewise suggest the appeal of the film industry, where effort is rewarded with periods of leisure and the chance to produce something meaningful and impactful.
