Love Quote by Kim Cattrall

Kim Cattrall is doing something sly here: she praises hustle while quietly dragging it. Calling it a "love affair" makes work sound illicit and exhilarating, not dutiful or virtuous. It flatters ambition, but it also admits to dependency. A love affair can be thrilling; it can also crowd out everything else. That double meaning is the engine of the quote.

Her second sentence pivots from confession to cultural critique. "Many of us" is a soft ambush: she pulls the listener into complicity, turning a personal habit into a shared pathology. The target isn't just long hours; it's the moral status we give them. In a culture where exhaustion plays like a badge, Cattrall argues we're underpaying a different currency: pleasure, taste, the body. "Epicurean" and "sensual" are loaded words in an English-speaking work ethic that still treats gratification as suspect. She chooses them anyway, not as decadent garnish but as values that deserve "enough" weight.

The context matters: Cattrall's public persona was shaped by Sex and the City, a franchise that sold modern femininity through desire, consumption, and self-knowledge, then got dismissed as frivolous for doing so. This line reads like a rebuttal to that dismissal and to the grindset age at once. It's not anti-work; it's anti-work-as-identity. The subtext is a dare: if you can romanticize your labor, you can romanticize your life, too, without apologizing for the part of you that wants to feel good.
