Everybody’s a work in progress. I’m a work in progress. I mean, I’ve never arrived... I’m still learning all the time.

In this remark, Fleming rejects the idea of artistic or personal “arrival” as a fixed endpoint. Even at the height of a celebrated career, she frames mastery as iterative: technique, interpretation, and self-knowledge keep evolving through experience, feedback, and changing life circumstances. The repetition (“I’m a work in progress… I’ve never arrived”) underscores humility and resilience, implying that growth is normal rather than a sign of inadequacy. In a performing-arts context, it also gestures to how roles deepen over time and how each performance is a new problem to solve—making learning a lifelong discipline rather than a phase that ends with success.
