I Live For/I would die for

Have you ever heard someone say, "I live for ______ (fill in the blank).  I was thinking about this last night and the other adage, "I would die for _______ (fill in the blank).  I wondered if one answered the first would they also be on the second.  Just a thought, I'm still thinking.  I know it isn't a serious question, but it could be.  I used to live for a cigarette, but I would die for some chocolate.  Then I would live for work, but would die for a day off.  Not literally of course, but if it were literal what would it be?
