About This Quote

In the movie, The Shawshank Redemption, a conman named Andy Dufresne is sentenced to prison. In the cruel and unusual punishment he receives from the warden, he is forced to do manual labor. One day while working in the prison’s laundry room, he is approached by a prisoner named Loretta. She asks him what he is doing, and he says that he is stabbing a cushion.

This shows that he is happy and that he likes what he is doing. He might be bad at it, but it makes him happy and that is what matters most.
