Luck is the residue of design.

Luck, I never looked to make difficult movies on purpose. You make the films you can make.

Pray for intestinal fortitude, work hard, and keep the faith. Oh, and pray for good luck, you're gonna need it.

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.

If you can't think of what to write, tough luck; write anyway. If you can think of lots more when you've finished the three pages, don't write it; it'll be that much easier to get going next day.

Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!

Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.

So, it takes a lot of chance and luck. I mean I was lucky enough to get in the program where people with the same skills never made it to the program. So keep trying.

I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.

Luck is always the last refuge of laziness and incompetence.

You can't just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.

I like to make people look as good as they'd like to look, and with luck, a shade better.

Sheer luck. I was lucky to have been born with cheekbones.

I see a New York where people who are down on their luck can get back on the road to responsibility, a job and dignity.

With my luck, if I ever invested in General Motors, they'd bust it to Corporal!
