There is no point at which you can say, "Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap."

Fisher’s line treats “success” not as a finish line but as a moving target that demands continued effort and attention. The humor in “I might as well take a nap” undercuts the fantasy that achievement grants permanent security or rest; it suggests that careers, creative lives, and personal growth require ongoing work, reinvention, and vigilance. Implicitly, the quote also critiques complacency and the way public recognition can be mistaken for stability. Coming from Fisher—whose life combined high visibility with relentless writing, performance, and recovery work—the remark reads as both practical career advice and a wry acknowledgment that life doesn’t pause simply because you’ve reached a milestone.
