Famous quote by Catherine O'Hara

"I'm always looking for something to do. I enjoy life, and I enjoy trying new things. I enjoy the work I do, so it's not tiring to me"

About this Quote

Restless curiosity drives these words, a readiness to meet each day with initiative rather than waiting for inspiration to arrive. Seeking something to do isn’t about filling time; it signals a commitment to engagement, to discovering what the moment might offer. The emphasis on enjoying life frames exploration as nourishment, not distraction. Trying new things becomes a habit of mind, a way to keep perception supple and skills evolving.

The pivot to work is telling: when the work itself is a source of pleasure, fatigue changes character. Effort remains, but it feels purposeful and enlivening. Intrinsic motivation replaces obligation, and the result often resembles flow, attention locked in, time slipping, energy cycling back rather than draining away. This doesn’t deny the grind; it reframes it. Enjoyment doesn’t erase difficulty, it absorbs it into a larger sense of meaning.

There’s also a subtle philosophy of longevity here. Continual experimentation keeps creativity from calcifying. New experiences keep the craft fresh and the ego honest, because novelty returns you to beginnerhood where curiosity matters more than mastery. That orientation guards against burnout by trading repetition for renewal and by anchoring identity less in outcomes than in the ongoing practice of learning.

Agency threads through every line. Instead of waiting to be moved, she chooses to move, toward people, projects, and possibilities. That stance resists passivity and cynicism. It encourages resilience: when the work is loved and life is approached with openness, setbacks become material to shape rather than reasons to stop.

The practical takeaway is simple and demanding: cultivate conditions where delight and effort meet. Seek tasks that spark fascination, keep sampling the unfamiliar, and let enjoyment be a legitimate form of stamina. When attention, curiosity, and craft align, work restores more than it depletes, and life feels less like a schedule to manage and more like a conversation to keep having.
