I had thought up the title, 'The Good Luck of Right Now,' several years ago. I had no idea what it meant or what the book would be about but I thought, 'Someday I'm going to write a book with that title.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every song I've written is luck, I think; it's luck - 'How did that just happen?'
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
I'm not a big believer in a thing called luck. I believe it has a lot to do with fate and just really having a vision of the way you would see your life.
Luck can often mean simply taking advantage of a situation at the right moment. It is possible to make your luck by being always prepared.
I now believe that there's only a certain amount of good luck in the world, and so if something good happens to me, that means something bad has to happen to somebody, somewhere.
I still think that luck is what a lot of the good things come from. It's simply the luck of where you are, when.
Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.
Once you finish a book, you let it go out into the world to seek its fortune.
I wrote a little autobiography about how luck has to do with everything. It's called 'My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business.' A publisher came to me and said, 'Write a book,' so I did. I wanted to call it 'Everybody Else Has Got a Book.'
